Ivan Mameli raises. For the epic fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg , the mayor of Bari Sardo provides the beach of the Spanish Tower. For weeks Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, now 'X', and Tesla, and Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta (a US company that controls the social network services Facebook and Instagram, the instant messaging services WhatsApp and Messenger), if they are playing them, but at a distance. The mixed martial arts match in a cage (MMA) between the two billionaires has been announced to be held in Italy, in an "epic location", also sparking a political debate on the appropriateness of the event.
Now the mayor of Bari Sardo is promoting the idea of a beach that embraces the Spanish fortress. «We are pleased to propose the beach in front of the Spanish Tower of Bari Sardo as the site of your upcoming fight, a magical place certainly worthy of your glorious and imminent mixed martial arts duel . I believe that great preambles are not needed to explain the importance of this candidacy right here in Sardinia, land of the glorious Shardana which today, being able to boast thousands of archaeological sites distributed throughout the region, is a candidate for recognition of the Monuments of the Nuragic Civilization in the Unesco world list. An immense historical and cultural heritage that in the Mediterranean is comparable only with the Egypt of the Pharaohs». In the last few hours, Zuckerberg has held back on the epic challenge.
However, Zuckerberg himself intervened on the statements of the challenger Musk by curbing enthusiasm: «I love this sport – he wrote on Threads, X's rival platform – I've been ready to fight since the day Elon challenged me. If he ever agrees to a real date, you'll find out from me.'
Ivan Mameli has the alternative ready in case of cancellation of the challenge: «Should you change your mind and deem fighting no longer necessary, we will still propose ourselves as a place of peace for an "epic Sardinian snack" with times and methods that will be detailed in progress of the work since they are susceptible to change".
