230817 笼斗终成口水战？扎克伯格:不奉陪马斯克了
▍原文
Elon Musk "isn't serious" about holding a cage fight and "it's time to move on", Mark Zuckerberg has said. In a post on his social media site Threads, the Meta boss said he had offered Mr Musk "a real date" but the rival entrepreneur had made excuses. Mr Musk had earlier on Sunday suggested on his own messaging site X, formerly known as Twitter, that he was willing to fight as early as Monday.
