My money is on the Zuck, he's got that BJJ and Elon looks like a chicken nugget.

[–] fritter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Zuck's gonna tear him apart; he's got that android strength.

What the fuck is this world now lol?

If the pay-per-view stream of the fight doesn't include a stock ticker for their respective companies, I will be deeply disappointed.

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People are gonna bet stocks on this fight, I can feel it

[–] TitanLaGrange@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

My understanding is that Twitter stock is a bit hard to come by right now?

[–] Holyginz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hopefully they off each other.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes because with any other scenario no matter who wins we lose.

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I swear, the world's turned into a parody of itself without any of us realizing it. Where's the fucking cameras?

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We realize. There's just no way to stop this right now.

[–] croobat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Let's close the loser's platform

[–] SuperBobby@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm down if it's a fight to the death.

[–] krayj@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As much as I hate the notion of giving either of these dbags money, I'm paying to see this fight.

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!

I think there was a weird reddit post awhile back where a guy saw Mark in his karate class. I dunno, rich people are people too and I guess this is a win-win for both of them. They get to live their rich lives, and it's a spectacular publicity stunt.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zuckerberg has actually been winning BJJ competitions.

[–] Cinner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Musk has a LOT more weight on him and I believe some height too.

I just want to see Elon's jibblies jobbling all over the place. Flippity flappity I want to see this happity.

[–] YourBrainOnScience@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] aparadizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'd rather see them have a duel at dawn, or whenever.

[–] Seven@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I ate the news. Thought this was the onion...

James Cameron needs to get back in his submarine and raise the bar.
