Italian culture minister Gennaro Sangiuliano contacted US billionaire Elon Musk and asked him to fight Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg at the Colosseum in Rome. TMZ writes about this, citing its own sources.
According to the publication, rivals are interested in this idea. Sources say that Zuckerberg's representatives have already told UFC President Dana White about it, who undertook to organize the fight of billionaires, and he, in turn, contacted the Italian Ministry of Culture.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk posted a tweet hinting at a fight at the Colosseum.
It is not yet clear how many spectators will be able to attend the Musk-Zuckerberg fight if it takes place at the Coliseum. The Roman amphitheater, built over 1,900 years ago, is open to the public as an archaeological site, but recreational activities are extremely rare. So, in 2003, Paul McCartney gave a charity concert there, which was allowed only 400 spectators.
Earlier it was reported that Musk began training in preparation for the fight. Popular podcast host and Jiu-Jitsu black belt Lex Friedman said he trained the SpaceX owner for several hours. “I am extremely impressed with his strength, power and skill,” Friedman wrote.
A week earlier, Musk, who had repeatedly publicly criticized the owner of Facebook for censorship and surveillance of users, invited Zuckerberg to arrange an arena fight. He agreed. The fight was originally supposed to take place in Las Vegas.
The physical data of Musk and Zuckerberg differ significantly. Zuckerberg is 13 years younger and is a professional martial artist. But Musk is much larger: his height is 188 cm and weighs 104 kg. Zuckerberg's height is 170 cm and weighs 66 kg.
