Musk shed light on the sequence of events that led to the failure of the bout.

He explained, “Italy actually was willing to let us use the Coliseum. I was like, well, can’t turn that down.

Then I was like, well, if it’s going to be in the Coliseum, I like UFC and everything, but we don’t have tons of ads in UFC branding on the Coliseum because it’s a place of great history.

You don’t want to have it be all like NASCAR. And then Zuck pulled out.”

Addressing Zuckerberg’s accusation that Musk was not taking the fight seriously and had no genuine intention to engage in combat, Musk responded, “[Zuckerberg] accused me of not being serious, and I said, ‘Listen, at the end of the day, I’ll fight you any place, anywhere, under any rules.'”

When questioned about his confidence in the outcome of the fight, Elon Musk noted, “I’m like 50% heavier than him, 6’2”, 240-ish lb.

I’ve got my patented ‘walrus’ move. I just lie on him. A walrus doesn’t need martial arts training because it’s really big.”

Musk concluded by expressing optimism that the fight might still materialize, emphasizing his readiness to make it happen at any time.
