We are truly living in an Idiocracy. What kind of headline is this?
You must log in or # to comment.
I can’t believe this is a real story.
Why can’t they be like normal billionaires and just go outside and play with their submersibles?
I swear, the world’s turned into a parody of itself without any of us realizing it. Where’s the fucking cameras?
So zuccyboy called musk and said, hey elon my metatrap is not getting any free publicity lately & your blue bird looks kinda dead, do you have any ideas? Sure, let’s stage some fake mma bs so that everybody can talk about, Joe will do some small talk for the populi about our everyday struggles, shinning different light on our cumbersome lives and we profit again. Great idea loonyboy, I’m in.
I dislike both men for the net harm that they’ve inflicted on humanity.
But if this actually went down, Mark Zuckerberg would beat the brakes off of Elon Musk.
Maybe I’m going crazy but didn’t he win some regional ju-jitsu competition recently?
I know that he trains, and saw a clip of one of his matches, and he looked reasonably good for a white or blue belt.
Elon Musk is easily the most feeble of the high profile multi-billionaires. I think that even Branson would have better cardio.
Zuckerberg would close the distance on Musk immediately, take him down, and strangle him with relative ease.
The better match up would be Zuckerberg vs Bezos.
Elon Musk is easily the most feeble of the high profile multi-billionaires.
Heh, I wonder if he’ll schedule it for like 8 months out and then spend the entire time hiding from public view getting shredded and learning BJJ. It would be super fun to have him show up in the ring and drop his robe to reveal that he’s absolutely jacked.
It’s a dedication and focus thing, so Elon would not be able to sustain the will to train properly. He’d blow most of his time looking for cheat codes, then try to learn one move, and spam it during the match up.
He’d do well to bow out of any chirping on the subject. If he actually tries to knuckle up, he’s going to get embarrassed.
Weirdly, Mark would probably gain some serious street cred for putting Elon to sleep.
Serious question (abd a likely unpopular opinion given the comments here) but do you really think Elon has “inflicted net harn on humanity?” And did you feel that way before he bought Twitter? In my opinion, he’s one of the most important persons of this century so far. Getting us to mars & making electric cars commonplace are huge for humanity.
Serious answer:
With respect to net harm, yes, yes I do mean what I said.
Yes, I did feel that way before he bought Twitter.
One of the most important is not synonymous with one of the most beneficial.
Hyping Mars is cool, but forcibly cutting corners at Space X led to a catastrophic shredding of their launch pad. I would not allow this man near the decision making level at Space X, and I mean that in precisely the same way that I wouldn’t want to buy a submarine from that see the Titanic company.
In terms of mitigating the effects of climate change, every little bit counts, but electric cars is probably the least effective application of his wealth.
While his PR image may seem appealing to you, it’s like you’ve got the Oscar Meyer Weiner song in your head; you might even sincerely enjoy the product. But that also strongly suggests that you haven’t walked around on the production floor to see how it’s made.
With respect to the net harm to humanity claim, the aiding and abetting of intolerance and fascism has a direct cost in human lives.
And to be clear, no matter how loyal you are to him, and no matter how much you choose to ignore in order to sustain it, you’re less than an NPC to him.
Electric cars aren’t significant. It’s just a way for people to feel “green” while not changing their habits or adressing the actual issue of climate change. He has harmed society by hoarding money like a dragon just like every other rich fuck.
As much as I hate the notion of giving either of these dbags money, I’m paying to see this fight.
We do, in fact, live in the dumbest possible timeline.
My money is on the Zuck, he’s got that BJJ and Elon looks like a chicken nugget.
LMAO
Make it to the death!
Both?
Two billionaires enter, zero leave
I would sub to see that!
word sub keeps reminding me of these 5 unlucky guys lmao
Thanks for catching the pun I was trying to make, while we were on the topic of billionaires dying.
I’m down if it’s a fight to the death.
What the fuck is this world now lol?
These two guys together in the same room would create a negative charisma black hole
The Zuck has a lot of training. Musk is a fat roll. Not a good matchup.
Plus, Zuckerberg doesn’t feel pain. He doesn’t feel anything.
What if Zuckerberg just unhinges his jaw and swallows Musk whole? I hope the ref doesn’t interfere.
Why’s everybody seething with rage? This is hilarious. It’s easy to get bent out of shape when the flaws of powerful people have a disproportionate effect on others, but those flaws are, in themselves, an indication that the humanity has not yet been completely purged from industrialized society.
Okay, you hate the rich. I understand, but we’ve been dealing with them since we noticed that grain grows better on certain land, and we’ll be stuck dealing with them until individuals can freely convert matter and energy. Okay, these guys are egomaniacal man babies. They’re taking it out on each other! Honestly, would you rather they resolved their differences and cut a deal to (further) integrate Meta and Twitter? Let them fight.
If the pay-per-view stream of the fight doesn’t include a stock ticker for their respective companies, I will be deeply disappointed.
Any luck finding that bar? The last sub we sent hasn’t returned.
