Elon Musk has reveals the location for the fight between him and Zuckerberg
The highly anticipated fight between tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg appears to be happening, but Musk insists the event will take place elsewhere.
Musk announced on Friday that his fight against Zuckerberg will take place in Rome, Italy. While the particular site has not been disclosed, the tycoon has intimated that he and Zuckerberg will clash at the Colosseum.

The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC).
Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.
I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location.

“The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (rather than the UFC).” The livestream will be available on both this platform and Meta. Everything in the camera frame will be ancient Rome, with nothing modern in sight. I chatted with Italy’s Prime Minister and Minister of Culture. “They’ve decided on an epic location,” Musk wrote.
Musk went on to say that “everything done will pay respect to the past and present of Italy,” and that all proceeds from the fight will go to veterans.
TMZ said in June that an Italian official approached Zuckerberg about staging the fight in Italy. Although UFC president Dana White was rumoured to be involved in the talks, Musk stated on Friday that the bout will not be managed by UFC. It’s unclear how much role White has, if any.
The Colosseum, one of the seven wonders of the world, can only host a few hundred spectators with temporary seating. It is rare for events to be held inside the ancient structure, with many taking place just outside of it.
An exact fight date for Zuckerberg vs. Musk has not been revealed, but the Facebook founder has been training and looks ready to go.
