"I think we can all agree Elon isn't serious, and it's time to move on. I offered a real date," Zuckerberg posted on Sunday.
Zuckerberg stated that Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), offered to make their match a serious charity event.
Zuckerberg continued:
Musk has yet to respond to Zuckerberg's post, and last made a reference to the fight on 12 August.
Musk previously stated on 11 August that the fight would not be done with UFC but with his and Zuckerberg's foundations. The location he mentioned was somewhere in Italy, with proceeds going to veterans and paediatric hospitals.
In July, Zuckerberg was promoted to blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the second rank in the martial art. The 39-year-old also won gold and silver in his first Jiu-Jitsu tournament, according to CNN.
Musk has been training with podcaster and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Lex Fridman in preparation for the fight.
