Mark Zuckerberg is one of the most influential people of the last century. The creation of Facebook not only meant the formation of a million-dollar empire, but also marked a before and after in global communication, as well as in the technological world. The American tycoon and CEO of Meta set off alarm bells among his followers on social media this Saturday by sharing several photographs from a hospital stretcher. The businessman has revealed that he had to undergo emergency surgery as a result of a torn ligament while practicing MMA (Mixed Martial Arts).
Zuckerberg has suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, as he himself revealed from the hospital. "I tore my training ligament and just came out of surgery to replace it. Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me. I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that's been pushed back a bit. Still "I'm looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thank you all for the love and support," the magnate expressed in a publication.
After sharing the publication on social networks, many of Zuckerberg's followers have quickly sent him messages of support, many of them wishing him a speedy recovery. "Oh my God... What happened? I hope you are well and recover, Master," wrote one user. "A lot of strength" or "take good care of yourself" are some of the most repeated comments in the publication shared by the magnate.
Because of this injury, everything indicates that Zuckerberg will be away from competition for at least six months, although everything will depend on the progress of his recovery. The American has repeatedly demonstrated his great virtues as a fighter of this type, and in fact, at the beginning of the year he won a gold and silver medal in a jiu-jitsu competition. As the businessman points out, he was training for a fight, which many pointed out was going to be against Elon Musk, owner of X, formerly Twitter.
The South African businessman and Zuckerberg have a small confrontation due to a failure in a Facebook satellite launch operation by SpaceX in 2016. In addition, it should be remembered that their social networks are competitors. It was Musk himself who challenged Mark to an MMA fight, but so far this meeting has not yet taken place.
According to the founder of Tesla, the creator of Facebook has been delaying the fight. "Zuck retired. He used the retreat method. I will fight him anywhere, anywhere and under any rule. Italy was willing to let us use the Colosseum. I thought, well, I can't refuse that," Elon said in the podcast. The Joe Rogan Experience a few months ago. Be that as it may, it seems that now we will have to wait to see them fight.
