<\/p>\n Mark Zuckerberg<\/strong><\/a> is tired of waiting for Elon Musk<\/strong><\/a> to get ready to rumble, so he’s moving on — so says the Facebook founder himself.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n The techie billionaire announced Sunday he was throwing in the towel on the planning process, saying it was clear to him that EM wasn’t serious about duking it out … evidenced, at least in Mark’s eyes, in all the excuses Elon has offered to postpone this thing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Post by @zuck<\/p>\n View on Threads<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n MZ writes, “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on. I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n The backyard thing is new news — and pretty eyebrow-raising if true. Mark adds, “If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Mark has kinda been teasing this move for a while now … consistently refuting<\/strong><\/a> Elon’s characterization of things, and alleging that the Twitter honcho was stonewalling on purpose.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n In fact, it wasn’t too long ago that Mark said he wasn’t holding his breath for Elon — and despite EM trying to hype up the fight<\/strong><\/a> just this past week (by mentioning the prospect of Italy as a venue), it sounds like Mark’s throwing cold water on the whole thing … calling BS.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n It was a cool would-be event while it lasted, we suppose … and time will tell if Mark pulling the plug like this will force Elon to actually commit — but if he doesn’t, it might be over.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We covered the story on a recent episode of The TMZ Podcast<\/strong><\/a>, available on all podcast platforms.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n![\"mark](\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/b8\/4by3\/2023\/08\/11\/b8482597504e46e493dab2fc361d5b28_md.jpg\")
