Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have been scrapping it out in the social media ether for months and now they’re ready to do the business in a cage. In a hardly believable exchange that has take…

I place the blame for this squarely at the feet of Al Gore.

It’s almost like luck and nepotism are more important for success than ability.

Has there ever been a simultaneous knock out in boxing before? I’m cheering for that

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?

When Reddit’s CEO takes over all the news coverage with his string of bad decisions, Facebook and Twitter CEOs are gonna feel threatened. This reeks of desperate flailing for someone to pay attention.

There are no winners here. Only people screaming “Heey! Over here, look we can be stupid, too! PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEE!”

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.

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.

Rich people desperate for attention.

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.

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…

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.

@Wilshire Yep… It’s official. We’re in a South Park episode!!!

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.

Can we sew them both up in a leather sack with a badger instead?

Hey now, badgers are lovely creatures
