    Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg cage fight will be live-streamed for charity on X

    The long-standing feud between tech moguls Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg is set to take a unique turn as Musk announced that their proposed cage fight will be live-streamed on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). The two CEOs have been egging each other on since June, fueling anticipation for a mixed martial arts showdown in the ring.

    Musk took to X early on Sunday morning to reveal the latest development, stating, “Zuck vs. Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans,” without providing any further details on the exact date or venue.

    The Tesla and SpaceX CEOs have been preparing diligently for the showdown, sharing their rigorous training regimes on the platform. In response to a user’s inquiry about the point of the fight, Musk cryptically commented, “It’s a civilised form of war. Men love war.”

    On the other hand, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is known for his training in jiujitsu, has expressed his eagerness for the battle. He publicly asked Musk to “send location” for the proposed throwdown, to which Musk promptly responded with “Vegas Octagon,” referring to the famed events centre in Las Vegas known for hosting MMA championship bouts.

    Musk has been open about his preparations, posting updates on X about his weightlifting routines while juggling his busy schedule at work. “Lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight,” he mentioned in one of his posts.

    Despite the escalating excitement surrounding the event, Meta has not yet issued an official response to Musk’s latest announcement.

    The rivalry between the two tech moguls has captured the attention of the public and the tech industry alike. With both CEOs known for their innovative contributions to the world, the cage match has become a symbol of their competitive spirit.

    The charity angle adds another dimension to the event, with the proceeds going towards supporting veterans, a cause close to the hearts of many.

    As the anticipation builds, fans and followers of both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg eagerly await further details on the highly anticipated cage fight, which promises to be a thrilling and historic event in the world of tech rivalries.

  • ‘We are BulletProof’: BTS set to release a new album in June

    Korean pop group BTS’s agency, BigHit Music has posted a montage video on Twitter which hints that something special is coming soon. This video was first dropped at their concert, ‘Permission To Dance on Stage’ in Las Vegas.

    Their agency also posted an official statement on the fan community platform, ‘Weverse’ along with the teaser.

    “Hello. This is Big Hit Music. BTS will be back with another new album on June 10, 2022. Details on the new album will be provided in a separate notice at a later date. We look forward to your love and support for BTS’s new album. Thank you.”

    BTS dropped its last album, BE in November 2020 which includes its most listened song, Live Goes On, which depicted the impacts of covid-19 on human lives around the world.

    BTS just finished their Las Vegas Concert series, ‘Permission To Dance on Stage’ in The United States (US). The group performed for four days on the stage. According to the data compiled by the agency, around 624,000 fans joined the K-pop group BTS concerts series both online and offline.

    The agency official said, “According to Allegiant Stadium, BTS has been the one and only music act that has performed solo concerts at the venue four times in a row and attracted 200,000 people through four sessions of the show.

    “Permission to Dance on Stage” series was first launched in October last year in Seoul, Korea through Livestream. Then, they later performed in Los Angeles in November/December and then in Seoul in March 2022. BTS wrapped the concert series in Las Vegas this month.

  • BTS’s Jin and HYBE shed light on ‘plan’ for mandatory military service

    Korean pop group, BTS has recently performed their concert, Permission To Dance in Las Vegas, The United States (US). The group had attended a press conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

    While responding to a question during the press conference, BTS member Jin said: “I talked a lot with the company and entrusted all military service-related tasks with the company.”

    Their agency HYBE CCO, Lee Jin Hyung also addressed the concerns related to BTS mandatory military service, “The BTS members have currently left the matter of their military service in the hands of the company. BTS has already conveyed the message multiple times that they will accept the call of duty whenever the nation calls them, and they have not changed this opinion. However, the policy on military service has changed a little, and as the members are experiencing changes to the Military Service Act that they did not expect, they are currently monitoring the situation while discussing the matter with the company.”

    It is to be noted that South Korea has set the threshold of maximum age limit for a man to get enrolled for mandatory service at 28 years. However, according to a new amendment to a law that was passed in December 2020 was dubbed as “BTS military service amendment”. This law allows artists who receive recognition from the government could delay their military enlistment till they are 30 years old. The changes were done because of the group’s contribution to the economy during the pandemic.

    Jin will turn 30 years this year in December so he has to enlist before the end of the year 2022. However, some members proposed a bill in the Korean National Assembly to exempt BTS from mandatory military enlistment on the account of their contribution to the South Korean economy. Currently, this bill is under debate in the National Assembly and has not reached a final agreement on the bill.

    CCO further added, “To put it precisely, the policy on military service is changing, and it’s true that the BTS members are having a hard time because it’s difficult for them to predict the timing [of their military service]. Since it’s difficult for them to make plans, both the BTS members and the company are currently keeping a close eye on the proposed amendment.”

    In South Korea, every mature man between 18 and 28 age is required to fulfill their military enlistment for about 2 years. Those people who cannot enlist in mandatory military service on the basis of health issues, personal, and religious beliefs can enroll in alternatives such as public service workers.
