馬克·祖克伯和埃隆·馬斯克是兩位科技億萬富翁。 他們似乎同意以籠鬥方式會面。

Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are two tech billionaires. They seemingly agreed to face each other in a cage fight. 

上個月，當Meta推出Threads（被視為Twitter的直接競爭對手）時，潛在衝突的風險就增加了。

The stakes for the potential clash were raised last month when Meta launched Threads, seen as a direct competitor to Twitter.

這場戰鬥被視為一場大型慈善活動，具有歷史意義。 然而，該活動不會在羅馬舉行。

The fight is seen to be a large charitable and historically evocative event. However, the event won’t be in Rome.
