X Will Livestream Musk vs Zuckerberg Cage Fight
For the last few months, there has been a lot of talk about Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk squaring up. The two have been going back and forward we each other on there respective social media platforms for a while now. Though both have agreed to fight each other, details of the highly anticipated fight haven’t been shared… Until now!
Livestream on X
Elon Musk went on X on Sunday and wrote “Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X,”. He continued by saying “All proceeds will go to charity for veterans”. But that was later met by a response from Zuckerberg. The Metaverse owner took a shot at the app formally known Twitter by writing “Shouldn’t we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?” which caused the internet to go into a frenzy. Zuckerberg continued by revealing he suggested the fight be on August 26th, but Musk has yet to confirm.
This all started months ago when Musk claimed that the world was under Zuckerberg’s thumb and had no other when it came to social media platforms. After a twitter user mentioned Zuckerberg’s Jiu Jitsu training, Musk jokingly challenged Zuck’ to a cage match. It did not take long for the Facebook owner to accept. He event went to the lengths of asking Ultimate Fighting Championship owner, Dana White, to jump in on the negotiations and iron out the details of the match. Once White called Musk and got confirmation he was serious about the fight, Zuckerberg jumped on Instagram asking Musk for the location of the fight.
Location
In the beginning, many speculated the two would fight in the Roman Colosseum. Even though they both wanted it there, the fight is now expected to take place in Las Vegas because of how much more difficult it would be for Italy to commission the fight compared to the Nevada Athletic Commission.
If the 52 year old Musk happens to fight the 39 year old Zuckerberg, who do think will win?
Twitter's 'X' Rebrand Sparks Hilarious Reactions
Elon Musk has dramatically revealed a brand makeover for Twitter — he’s now calling it “X” — and the reactions are pouring in. Musk has decided to discard the familiar name and the instantly recognizable bird logo.
Although the site has seen design alterations before (initially appearing as ‘Twittr’), the bird graphic became the logo of the company since its introduction in 2010. And “tweeting” and “retweet” became part of our everyday language that was specific to the platform.
Musk surprised everyone with his announcement on Sunday, and by Monday morning, he https://t.co/bOUOek5Cvy now points to https://t.co/AYBszklpkE.
Interim X logo goes live later today.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 23, 2023?s=20">tweeted that X.com now redirects to Twitter.com. He followed up with, “Interim X logo goes live later today,” and not long after, he posted a picture of Twitter’s headquarters illuminated with a massive new X.
The Twitter website has now adopted the new logo, leaving behind the familiar blue bird. In a previous statement, Musk expressed his intention to bid farewell to the Twitter brand and gradually eliminate all bird-related elements.
Twitter has prominently featured its vibrant and globally recognized blue bird logo for over a decade. The rebranding can be seen as a significant attempt to revamp the company’s image. In recent months, Musk has been warning about Twitter’s precarious financial situation, with steep losses in ad revenue and concerns about potential bankruptcy.
Adding to the pressure, Threads, a rival social media platform launched by Meta, Facebook’s parent company, garnered over 100 million user sign-ups within its first week, posing further competition to Twitter.
On Sunday, Twitter’s CEO Linda Yaccarino shared on the platform: “X represents the future state of limitless interactivity – focusing on audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – building a worldwide marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Fueled by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re only just starting to envision.”
Despite Yaccarino’s announcement, many users have taken to mocking the statement and questioning the motive behind the rebrand. Others suggested the “X” was a bad idea. “Imagine explaining to your wife that you watched some Xvideos today,” Imagine explaining to your wife that you watched some Xvideos today
