Zuckerberg took it to Threads, where he expressed his elongated thoughts regarding the certainty of the battle. He shed light on how serious Musk was about the battle. He quoted, “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on. I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead.”

Well, Zuckerberg’s comments made it apparent that he was surely worried about Elon Musk’s deeds. He tried to convey that Musk was turning things around and was not being firm with his decisions.

Who else seemed unconvinced by Elon Musk?

Recently, UFC legend Brendan Schaub took it on Instagram, where he intended to highlight Musk’s recent tweet considering the fight. On his Instagram page, Schaub retweeted Elon Musk’s shocking comment regarding the beef. Musk said that the match in Italy will be organized by his and Zuckerberg’s foundation but not by the UFC head honcho. However, Schaub did not appear to be happy with the news as he began his post with a lengthy caption.

He quoted, “Seems like a bad idea to remove Dana/UFC. This fight is already a circus, taking away the biggest promoter and brand makes this a bigger circus act. Also, production wise no one does it better.”

He further said, “Not to mention UFC would pack the under card with amazing talent that could use the exposure. Without all of this it’s just two rich nerds fighting with no skill. Don’t tell me “Zuck is serious about Jiu Jitsu” or “Elon did Judo as a kid” those aren’t great selling points to the fight community”
