Noting that the event will be live-streamed on both X and Meta, Musk wrote, “Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.”

He added: “I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location.”

In subsequent posts, he wrote that proceeds from the fight will “go to veterans,” but didn’t single out an specific veteran-assisting organizations, adding, “Everything done will pay respect to the past and present of Italy.”
