The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC).

Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.

I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location.

JUST IN: @elonmusk begins training with for his highly-anticipated fight against Mark Zuckerberg

His training partner, Lex Fridman, says he was "extremely impressed with his strength, power, and skill, on the feet and on the ground. It was epic"

However, Lex believes Elon and Mark should NOT fight, and I agree.

Their time is better spent focusing on changing the world, both in their own rights.

Anything that delays Neuralink's chips or our trip to Mars, I am against.

Jokes aside, DO YOU REALLY THINK Elon and Mark should fight?

[Ellie in Space 🚀💫 @esherifftv]

BREAKING: @elonmusk is ready to rumble
Spoken moments ago...
Musk: If this does happen, I will train.
I spend my time according to what is needed, and I don’t usually have to fight people.

Vance: Zuck takes this stuff pretty seriously, this could go badly.

Musk: Um, yea that’s possible.
I mean, I think it might actually happen.

The top of the Empire State Building was originally designed to be used as a docking station for airships. In the late 1920s, there was a belief that cross-Atlantic travel would soon be carried out using zeppelins or dirigibles. Therefore, the investors behind the Empire State Building saw the top of the building as an ideal site for embarkation.

In this envisioned scenario, a dirigible would arrive and dock on top of the building at the specially constructed mooring station. The airship would be quickly secured with ropes, allowing passengers to disembark by walking single-file down a gangplank and into the tallest building in the world from its top floor. From there, they could take the elevator down and find themselves in the heart of Manhattan, a mere seven minutes after landing.

Since the idea was driven by the practical desire to make the building more profitable, the developers went as far as actually constructing a mooring mast on top of the Empire State Building. However, even the most skilled American engineers failed to devise a method to attach a zeppelin to the top of a 1,250-foot-high building that regularly experienced 50 mph winds, while also ensuring a pleasant experience for the average cross-Atlantic traveler.

The airship companies ultimately deemed the idea impractical and even dangerous, leading to a lack of interest. Despite this, the one and only actual mooring on the Empire State Building occurred in September 1931 when a privately-owned blimp managed to dock for three minutes, although no unloading took place.

"Traffic was tied up in the streets below for more than a half hour as the pilot, Lieutenant William McCraken jockeyed for position in the half gale about the tower 1,200 feet above the ground," the Times reported in 1931.

The age of trans-Atlantic zeppelins ended in 1937 with the Hindenburg disaster, when the largest craft of its type ever built burst into flames while landing in New Jersey.

NEWS: Crypto .com to suspend exchange for US institutional clients by June 21

[Binance.US 🇺🇸 @BinanceUS]

The SEC has taken to using extremely aggressive and intimidating tactics in its pursuit of an ideological campaign against the American digital asset industry. https://t.co/HrbX93eYuS and our business partners have not been spared in the use of these tactics, which has created challenges for the banks with whom we work.

As a result, in an effort to protect our customers and platform, today we are suspending USD deposits and notifying customers that our banking partners are preparing to pause fiat (USD) withdrawal channels as early as June 13, 2023. We encourage customers to take appropriate action with their USD.

Our priority is, and has always been, our customers. We are taking these proactive steps as we–for a time–transition to a crypto-only exchange. To be clear, we maintain 1:1 reserves for all customer assets. Any downtime in processing withdrawals may be the result of elevated volumes and weekend bank closures. Moreover, trading, staking, deposits and withdrawals in crypto remain fully operational.

While we remain open to a productive compromise that enables a thriving digital asset marketplace in America, https://t.co/HrbX93eYuS will continue to vigorously defend ourselves, our customers, and industry against the meritless attacks of the SEC.

Our notice to customers:
