The ongoing war of words between billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg is escalating. In the latest round of salvo, Musk has accused Zuckerberg of running away from the fight they both agreed to.
What Happened: Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that he spotted "hasty bag packing" at Zuckerberg's home on Tuesday, in what seems to be an attempt to have a fight at the Meta Platforms Inc. META co-founder's residence.

"There was some hasty bag packing at the Zuckerberg residence today! Traveling my ***," Musk said in a post on X.
The constant back and forth between Musk and Zuckerberg has been going on for a few weeks now. However, things escalated when Zuckerberg said Musk wasn't serious and that "it's time to move on".
Musk took it up a notch and said he would drive by Zuckerberg's residence, with plans to livestream it all on X.
However, to the disappointment of the followers of both these tech magnates, Zuckerberg's spokesperson informed Musk that he is not in town.
"Mark is traveling right now and isn't in Palo Alto. Also, Mark takes this sport seriously and isn't going to fight someone who randomly shows up at his house," the spokesperson said.
Are Musk And Zuckerberg Both Hesitant To Fight?
While there was plenty of excitement when Musk and Zuckerberg initially confirmed their fight, things have since simmered down even as the billionaires keep taking potshots at each other.
After dragging his legs initially in the fight, Musk said he would need surgery. Later, he also agreed that a cage match debate, instead of a physical fight, is a good idea.
This prompted Zuckerberg to take potshots at him and question his credibility in several posts on Threads.
Musk took it up a notch this week by announcing that he would be visiting Zuckerberg at his Palo Alto home and have a fight there.
