July 27th, Financial Associated Press (Editor Xia Junxiong) Last summer, two top technology giants Musk and Zuckerberg's showdown has become a hot topic, but the fight eventually did not happen. After a year, Musk once again expressed his willingness to compete with Zuckerberg, but this time Zuckerberg seems to have no intention of accepting the challenge.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu gave a speech at the US Capitol on Wednesday, and Musk met with him on Capitol Hill. After Musk appeared at the Capitol that day, some reporters followed him and asked a series of questions about the purpose of the visit and the U.S. election. When a reporter asked if he would fight Zuckerberg offline again, Musk replied, "I am willing to fight Zuckerberg anywhere, anytime, under any rules."

When a reporter asked if he would fight Zuckerberg offline again, Musk replied, "I am willing to fight Zuckerberg anywhere, anytime, under any rules."

Musk's statement quickly spread on social media, and Zuckerberg subsequently responded to relevant media reports on Meta's social platform Threads. Zuckerberg said: "Do we really want to do this again?"

Last year's fight didn't happen.

Threads was the fuse for Musk and Zuckerberg's fight a year ago. In July last year, Meta launched an application that targeted X (formerly Twitter). The media revealed this news in June last year, and Musk used sharp words to ridicule Zuckerberg on X several times, and said that he would have a "cage fight" with Zuckerberg.

Since Musk often amazes people on Twitter, not many people took his words seriously. However, Zuckerberg said on Instagram that he was willing to accept Musk's challenge.

This show subsequently took place for more than a month, not only was talked about among the people, but also the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White was actively pushing for the fight, and suggested that the Roman Colosseum be used as the venue for the fight.

At that time, Musk stated that the duel between him and Zuckerberg would take place at an epic location in Italy and will be broadcast live on X and Meta.

Just when everyone thought that the two were really going to fight, Musk said that he may need to have a small surgery, and the recovery time of the surgery may take several months. After many twists and turns, Zuckerberg also lost patience. He said on Threads that Musk did not take this matter seriously, so it's time to move on.

Afterwards, the showdown between Musk and Zuckerberg came to an end and they didn't mention this topic again until Musk recently responded to this matter.

Judging from Musk's latest statement, it is likely to be another joke. However, objectively speaking, Musk may not have much time and energy to spend on fighting Zuckerberg. Tesla has been performing poorly for several quarters, and Musk's biggest headache now should be how to get Tesla back on track.
