The fight between Mark Musk and Iska Saric: How the Meta CEO became a popular social media personality after he was angry with ElonJet

All of the things Musk has said about the fight seem to have been false. For one, Musk’s jet landed earlier Monday in Cleveland. Two, he wasn’t even in the house.

Musk said he will ask his car to drive to the home of Finkelstein for tonight’s test drive. If we get fortunate and Zuck responds the door, the fight is on.

Iska Saric says that Mark is away and is not in Palo Alto. Mark isn’t going to fight someone who shows up at his house randomly and he takes this sport seriously.

For the last time, I would like to talk about the martial arts bout between Mark and Musk and the threats Musk made to the Meta CEO to broadcast it to the world.

The Washington Post’s Drew Harwell noted that Musk violated his platform’s rules in the precise way that he accused journalists of doing during last year’s imbroglio over the ElonJet account. Musk was annoyed that the jet was uploading his assassination coordinates.

At the same time, Musk remains the owner of one of the most prominent social networks, despite all he has done over the past year to diminish it. He is also the co- founder andCEO of several other companies that are well-known in the public imagination, such as the company he founded, Neuralink, and the one that operates the Starlink service that provides internet service in more than 60 countries.

I think it is important if a person is losing his grip on reality. After a couple of days of crazy behavior, I don’t know what conclusion you could reasonably draw about Musk.

I have to write “And then Musk said this” to tell the story. And then he said that! I find that fashion to be obnoxious but unavoidable. If you are up to speed already, you can skip the next section.

The Battle for Rome: When Elon Musk Becomes More Creepy than he Has Already Confirmed (Revisited by Mark Zuckerberg)

He came back to the idea that it would be in Rome and promised that the fight would be broadcast on both X and Meta platforms.

As before, Zuckerberg hadn’t agreed to any of this. Giving the fight away for free would cause it to raise less money for charity. For Meta, from a public-relations standpoint, raising money for charity is a necessary pretext for doing the match at all — otherwise it’s just two rich tech guys fighting, and we get enough of that from quarterly earnings calls.

At that point, Zuckerberg had had enough. “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” he posted on Threads. Elon wouldn’t confirm a date but then said he needed surgery, and now wants to do a practice round in my backyard. If he ever gets serious about a date, he knows how to reach me. It is time to move on.

We are used to the kind of edgelord behavior that Musk is engaging in, such as making a threat, but then doing it in a way that makes him protest that it was all just.

Surely broadcasting himself driving to Zuckerberg’s house to confront him would represent just as serious a violation. (Arguably more serious, given that @ElonJet posted on a multi-hour delay, and most people don’t have physical access to airport tarmacs.)

The World’s Richest Man Isn’t: The Case for an MMA Fighting Ukraine’s Most Admired Man in the Light of “The Iron Man”

The most important thing is not whether an MMA fight takes place. The world’s richest man, with a security clearance and government contracts and much more than a little power over Ukraine’s continued internet access, is threatening to hunt down a rival CEO and challenge him to a duel.

His waning fan base will no doubt see this as playing to their real-life Iron Man tendencies. I wonder if the people in his family and company see something different than they are seeing now.
