He added a video of the Colosseum fight from the Monty Python movie “Life of Brian,” with the quip, “Need to work on my endurance.”The post came after the government of Italy contacted Zuckerberg with an invite to the legendary battleground, TMZ Sports reported.Both the Italian Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano and the ministry itself are on Twitter, but neither have posted about any discussions taking place that would pit the two high-profile CEOs against each other in the ancient amphitheater.The invite comes after Musk, the owner of Twitter and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, agreed last week to fight Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook and Instagram parent Meta Platforms, last week.
Musk was responding to a fan tweeting about Meta’s plans to release a rival to the social media site he purchased in October for $44 million. “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” Musk posted.Later in the day, Zuckerberg replied in an Instagram story: “Send Me Location.”Musk responded, “Vegas Octagon,” referencing the UFC’s premiere competition space.UFC president Dana White later said he had spoken with the two billionaires, and “both guys are absolutely dead serious about this” and speculated the price for watching the match could reach $100 per pay-per-view.

Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, is being criticized after declaring that the words “cisgender”and its abbreviated form, “cis,” are slurs that will be barred from the social media platform.The term, which refers to individuals whose gender identity matches their assigned sex at birth, has been viewed controversially by many of those to whom it refers. They argue that their identities should not be defined relative to transgender individuals.Musk made the declaration on June 20 in response to a tweet from James Esses, an Irish right-wing media figure, who claimed that transgender activists berated him with the word, which he both ideologically rejects and believes is a slur.Esses’s claim to fame is that he was expelled from a therapist training course after sending a public petition to his school, requesting they change how they view gender dysphoria to “safeguard therapy and counseling” for children.Esses now uses his social media channels to speak out against the idea of gender dysphoria and deny the concept of transgender identity, and advocates for bans on puberty and hormone blockers for children. “Yesterday, after posting a Tweet saying that I reject the word ‘cis’ and don’t wish to be called it, I received a slew of messages from trans activists calling me ‘cissy’ and telling me that I am ‘cis’ ‘whether or not I like it,'” Esses complained in a Twitter post.
