WASHINGTON - Mr Elon Musk said on Saturday he will start training if the mixed martial arts cage fight he has provoked with fellow billionaire media mogul Mark Zuckerberg takes shape.
The owner of Twitter tweeted on Tuesday that he was up for a cage match in Las Vegas with Mr Zuckerberg,
“I haven’t started training yet. So if this does happen, I will,” Mr Musk said in a talk on Twitter with Mr Ashlee Vance, the author of a book on Mr Musk and the space race.
The match “might actually happen”, said Mr Musk while attending a birthday party in Europe, adding that it was possible it could go badly if Mr Zuckerberg takes the match seriously.
Mr Musk also said SpaceX investments in the rocket Starship, the debut flight of which exploded over the Gulf of Mexico in April, raising questions about environmental impacts, may approach US$3 billion (S$4.06 billion) in 2023.
