The ongoing potential discussion between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has taken a new turn after Musk’s latest X message. The anticipated showdown, dubbed by many as the ‘Battle of the Billionaires,’ won’t be hosted by UFC’s Dana White, as per the latest updates.
Several crucial matters concerning the fight remain unresolved. Interestingly, Jake Paul has seized the opportunity to align himself with Elon Musk and mock Dana White.
Jake Paul takes brutal digs at Dana White
The ongoing feud between Jake Paul and Dana White continues. Jake initially drew Dana’s attention by criticizing the UFC president for not paying fighters fairly.
In a recent interview on ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,’ Dana referred to Jake as someone seeking attention constantly. This remark likely prompted Jake to once more take a dig at Dana, escalating their ongoing rivalry.

The Problem Child has shown his eagerness to contribute to making the Musk-Zuckerberg fight happen and has taunted Dana for consistently prioritizing UFC’s financial gains over the possibility of incorporating charitable elements.
“Elon Musk is the real boss of bosses. Meanwhile, Dana White selling Musk Zuck t-shirts. This is how you do it. All to charity. Would be amazing to use some of the proceeds to set up a pension plan for fighters.” Jake said.

Elon Musk lays out his fight event vs Mark Zuckerberg
At first, there was a minor chance that the fight could be hosted by UFC, as Dana exhibited interest in arranging the prominent match. Despite its potential to shatter numerous pay-per-view records, the CEO of X has now officially stated that the fight won’t occur within the UFC framework.
“The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC). Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all. I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location.” Elon said.
However, the fight’s progress is currently suspended due to an impending surgery for Musk. Recently, Elon revealed that the precise fight date remains uncertain since he was undergoing an MRI of his neck and upper back, which might necessitate surgery prior to the match taking place.
