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'd rather see them have a duel at dawn, or whenever.
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.
Ahh, the ol' early Trump playbook.
I swear, the world's turned into a parody of itself without any of us realizing it. Where's the fucking cameras?
We realize. There's just no way to stop this right now.
We do, in fact, live in the dumbest possible timeline.
The first time I saw this headline I thought it was from one of those Onion offshoot websites and skimmed it over. I can't believe it's real, but I'm both delighted and dumbfounded that it is!
I choose to believe they're doing this for our entertainment. Out of the goodness of their hearts. Things have been rough lately and we all need a little silliness and fun. Thanks, guys!
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.
Great comment here.
Ultimately it doesn't matter, it's a win all around as they both need a good ass kicking. I'd cheer every punch no matter who threw it because the one receiving it deserves it.
My money is on the Zuck, he's got that BJJ and Elon looks like a chicken nugget.
Zuck's gonna tear him apart; he's got that android strength.
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.
I like this attitude and I agree! It's your turn to be here for our entertainment, silly rich manbabies. Dance for us!
If the pay-per-view stream of the fight doesn't include a stock ticker for their respective companies, I will be deeply disappointed.
I ate the news. Thought this was the onion...
These two guys together in the same room would create a negative charisma black hole
As much as I hate the notion of giving either of these dbags money, I'm paying to see this fight.
I had to look this up because I thought it was fake.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Why people mad? Men have been fighting for all of history, I'm excited to see the matchup. I don't like either of these guys so seeing one of em get beat up is a win for me.
Yes, but men haven't been pillsbury doughboys for all of history.
Yeah, no matter who loses I'm cheering!
They’re just jealous that the squashed billionaires are hogging all the headlines.
Hopefully they off each other.
Yes because with any other scenario no matter who wins we lose.
Could we just leave them in the cage?
What the fuck is this world now lol?
Let's close the loser's platform
I'm down if it's a fight to the death.
Oh hey look everyone! Elon Musk is doing a thing! Let's give him the attention he so desperately craves as a man-child who never had to work a day in his life.
Loving #SpaceKaren on mastadon lol
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.
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.
