It's almost like luck and nepotism are more important for success than ability.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Edit: feel free to quote me if I'm wrong. Is there an aged like milk sub somewhere?
Never pick a fight with an android. I thought everybody knew that.
Celebrity deathmatch anyone?
The game was great too.
In a cage? Why not a small sub near the Titanic?
We all know Musk is gonna talk big talk and then do everything in his power to try and come up with excuses to back out last minute.
Like he always does.
Say what you want about Zuck but IIRC the dude has been actively learning martial arts for awhile, no? Isn't that one of his hobbies he has talked about before?
He spends his time in VR training like Neo.
Can we sew them both up in a leather sack with a badger instead?
Hey now, badgers are lovely creatures
Rich people desperate for attention.
I’m with you on this one. Seems like the richer you get the more validation you need. I don’t understand why we are giving them this attention either. I came here looking for people making jokes about how silly this is and that is not what I got
This! And on top of that the article casually mentions that Musk frames cis and cisgender as slurs on Twitter!! This seems much more relevant to be posted here. I just hope Twitter died already...
say what you will about zuck, but he is not an attention whore. Especially when you consider he made a social media site designed to get people to overshare.
Can't we just put all the billionaires in a cage, like rats in a bucket ala that scene in Skyfall, and just oops accidentally forget to release them? Or I dunno, just spitballing ideas here, some kind of sealed carbon fiber tube at the bottom of the Atlantic?
How is that not the Onion
!nottheonion@lemmy.ml
I so want to see this happen but I feel like there will be so many rules and padding that it’ll end up being a borefest.
Cage match, anything goes! It’ll bring in huge audiences.
They gotta bandage their hands then dip the bandages in glue then in broken glass.
Imagine the army of personal trainers on each side
Reality really did take a strange turn back in 2020 didn't it? This decade just gets weirder and weirder.
The world ended in 2012, and the rest is a simulation.
RIP to satire. Reality broke and now fiction can't keep up.
The simulation is broken and keeps generating nonsense.
Make it to the death!
Wait. This is for real?
It's real in the sense that Elon was like "fight me," and Mark replied "when and where"
That's about it.
Someone stop reality, I want to get off
Has there ever been a simultaneous knock out in boxing before? I'm cheering for that
If they were serious, Musk would get rocked. Musk is older and Zuck has mixed martial arts training.
I place the blame for this squarely at the feet of Al Gore.
The internet was a mistake.
Hopefully it's a fight to the death. Loser's assets get donated to a good cause. Winner faces whatever other egomaniac wants to use their wealth to shit on the rest of humanity.
The battle ends when the last man standing has a net worth of less than $10 million.
If one of them gets hurt then I think we'll all be the real winners. I hope something inside of Zuckerberg snaps and he does some weird 2 finger, forbidden heart bursting strike on Elon. He paid a man 1 million dollars to teach him that move, under the promise he'd never use it... But just like all bourgeoisie tech bros, he lied.
I think we can all agree to lose the keys to that cage, right?
Then throw it in the ocean, right? I'm just asking questions.
New Battlebots season's gonna be lit
How about if the loser agrees to donate 100% of their wealth to charity, subside on the wages of their lowest paid employee, and disappear from public life?
Cue musk backing out “it’s just a joke 🥺🥺🥺🥺” in 3…
Not sure who to bet on. They are both stupid, but they also both fight dirty.
In order to do a walrus attack, you have to actually get your opponent on the ground. What's the name of that female KFC fighter who was a beast at grappling but got into a ring with a boxer? She was destroyed because she couldn't get close.
What's the name of that female KFC fighter?
Connie Sanders, I think.
Celebrity Death Match, please
