Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody joins Varney & Co. to discuss their demands that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testify on the human trafficking cases and that Disney make major investments in California while cutting spending in Florida .

Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta Platforms Inc., underwent surgery after a knee injury sustained during a mixed martial arts session.

In a post on Instagram, Zuckerberg said he tore knee ligaments while training in mixed martial arts.

In the post, the 39-year-old posted a series of pictures of himself from a hospital bed, with one knee in an elaborate brace.

“I tore my anterior cruciate ligament in sparring and just came out of surgery to have it replaced,” Zuckerberg wrote. “Grateful for the doctors and team who took care of me.”

The billionaire said that the MMA competition he was training for has now been delayed due to his injury.

“I was training for an MMA competition early next year, but now that has been delayed a bit,” Zuckerberg said. “I’m still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thank you everyone for the love and support.”

Zuckerberg says he’s “ready to fight Musk.”

Zuckerberg and X-CEO Elon Musk agreed to a “cage fight” in late June following an exchange between the two tech billionaires on social media.

“I love this sport and have been ready to fight since the day Elon challenged me,” he said in Threads. “If he ever agrees on a specific date, you will hear it from me. Until then, please assume that everything he says has not been agreed upon.”

“The fight will be managed by mine and Zuck’s foundation (not UFC). The livestream will take place on this platform and meta. Everything in the camera image will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all. I spoke to the Italian Prime Minister and Minister of Culture. They agreed on an epic location,” he said.
