The most powerful people in the world are fucking idiots.

[-] tburkhol@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] JayDurst@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago

Celebrity deathmatch anyone?

[-] Wilshire@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

The game was great too.

[-] halvdan@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

[-] Spudger@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago

In a cage? Why not a small sub near the Titanic?

[-] storksforlegs@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago

Never pick a fight with an android. I thought everybody knew that.

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?

[-] Wilshire@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He spends his time in VR training like Neo.

[-] Eggyhead@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Rich people desperate for attention.

[-] batcheck@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] flora_explora@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

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...

[-] Liontigerwings@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] WellThisIsNew@fjdk.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Reality really did take a strange turn back in 2020 didn't it? This decade just gets weirder and weirder.

[-] Wilshire@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

The world ended in 2012, and the rest is a simulation.

[-] motorik@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] TheElectroness@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Hey now, badgers are lovely creatures

[-] nzodd@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] SomeGuyNamedPaul@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Wilshire@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

The internet was a mistake.

[-] bobby_tables@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago
[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It's real in the sense that Elon was like "fight me," and Mark replied "when and where"

That's about it.

[-] SoupOfTheDay@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Someone stop reality, I want to get off

[-] z2k_@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] vale_fallacia@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

They gotta bandage their hands then dip the bandages in glue then in broken glass.

[-] krypt@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Imagine the army of personal trainers on each side

[-] Rinox@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

Make it to the death!

[-] jhoward@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

I think we can all agree to lose the keys to that cage, right?

[-] Wilshire@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Then throw it in the ocean, right? I'm just asking questions.

[-] SmokeInFog@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Celebrity Death Match, please

[-] jeebus@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My money is on Fuckerberg. At least he stays in shape with his billions. I don't understand how Elon is so fat when he can pay people to literally put healthy food in his mouth like a baby.

[-] bumbly@readit.buzz 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

What's the name of that female KFC fighter?

Connie Sanders, I think.

[-] DannyBoy@mastodon.ie 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Diskolikewhoa@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

RIP to satire. Reality broke and now fiction can't keep up.

[-] CileTheSane@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The simulation is broken and keeps generating nonsense.

[-] TinyPizza@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] literallyacat@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

New Battlebots season's gonna be lit

[-] BootlegHermit@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] kitonthenet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Cue musk backing out “it’s just a joke 🥺🥺🥺🥺” in 3…

[-] Ragnell@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure who to bet on. They are both stupid, but they also both fight dirty.

[-] pseudorandom@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Hopefully they fight on a sub near the Titanic.

[-] natigin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I demand a fight to the death! TO THE DEATH!
(for both participants)

[-] DragonFruit@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

If they were serious, Musk would get rocked. Musk is older and Zuck has mixed martial arts training.
