Elon Musk says he may not fight Mark Zuckerberg

Elon Musk says he may not fight Mark Zuckerberg

 Tech billionaire Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter Inc., has explained why he might not be able to challenge Meta CEO’s Mark Zuckerberg this month. Musk stated that the fight's exact date is uncertain and that he may require surgery before his cage fight with Meta CEO.

In reply to a post by X News Daily about the cage fight, Elon Musk said, “Exact date is still in flux. I’m getting an MRI of my neck & upper back tomorrow. I may require surgery before the fight can happen.”

Elon Musk was responding to a screenshot by Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on Threads app where he said that the Twitter CEO did not decide on a date for the eagerly anticipated match. Meta said that he had proposed August 26 as a potential date.

Mark said, “I'm ready today. I suggested August 26 when he (Elon Musk) first challenged, but he hasn't confirmed.” 

On Sunday, Twitter owner Musk revealed that the cage match between him and Mark Zuckerberg will be live aired on X (previously Twitter), and the earnings will go to a veterans' organization. However, another source of dispute has emerged over the choice of streaming service for the showdown between the two tech billionaires.

Following the announcement by Elon Musk, Mark said, “Shouldn't we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?" Earlier, the Twitter owner said, “If the fight is short, I will probably win. If long, he may win.” 

In June, there were reports that Elon Musk and Mark agreed to fight each other in a cage match. At that time, it was not known whether the clash between the two tech titans would take place or whether Musk's tweets about the cage fight were real. At that time, they wrote on social media that they were "up for a cage fight.”

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

India raises concern over North Korea missile tests at UNSC, 2nd time in weeks

 As the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) met for the second time in a month over the missile tests in North Korea, India yet again raised concerns over the impact on peace and security in the region. New Delhi has also reiterated its support for the denuclearisation in the Korean peninsula, underlining that it is “in collective interest” while also stressing that “dialogue and diplomacy” are preferred means to resolve the issue. The latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test by the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has again sparked tensions between nations with the United States and its allies calling for the country to limit its programs even as Russia and China back Pyongyang amid the likelihood of new sanctions. In the latest UNSC meeting, the United States, Britain, France, and India were among 14 nations to "strongly condemn" the latest North Korea launch on Friday, which was reported to have landed about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from ...
