Türkiye’s historic Aspendos offered to host Zuckerberg-Musk showdown

The ongoing rivalry between tech giants Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, harking back to an epic cage battle, has taken an sudden activate Turkish soil.

An official from the Turkish Hoteliers Federation (TÜROFED) has thrown down the gauntlet, proposing the 2 business magnates face one another within the historic metropolis of Aspendos.

Murat Toktaş, the vice chairman of TÜROFED and the chairperson of the Black Sea Tourism Operators Association, on Tuesday supplied Meta CEO Zuckerberg and Musk, the proprietor of the X platform previously referred to as Twitter, to stage their ring battle within the famed historic website in Türkiye’s Antalya.

“As tourism industry representatives, we think that the most suitable venue for this fight will be Aspendos, which is famous for its ancient beauty,” Toktaş stated.

Questions stay about whether or not or the place the cage battle will happen as a digital duel rages on between the 2.

Earlier this month Tesla boss Musk stated his deliberate cage battle with billionaire rival Zuckerberg can be held at an “epic location” with an historic Roman theme, as Italy indicated it was able to stage the scrap.

Italy’s Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano stated in a press release that he had spoken to Musk about internet hosting a “large charitable and historically evocative event.”

Zuckerberg has claimed that Musk isn’t severe about holding a “cage fight.”

In a submit on Threads, a digital social media platform launched on July 5 as a competitor to X, Zuckerberg stated he supplied Musk “a real date” for the battle.

“I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on. I offered a real date … Elon won’t confirm a date, then he says he needs surgery, and now asks for a practice round in my backyard instead,” he stated Sunday.

In response, Musk retorted on the X platform, calling Zuckerberg a “chicken.”

Posting Tuesday on the identical platform, Musk cited a “fight recap,” stating: “I joked on X about fighting Zuck. Zuck then said, ‘SEND ME LOCATION.’ Italy graciously offered a Colosseum, but Zuck declined. I suggested his home as a ‘safe space.’ Tragically, he was ahem ‘traveling.’ Is there anywhere he will fight?”
