He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. They’re both pieces of shit.

He even chickened out of his recent offer to come on the Daily Show and debate Jon Stewart! He's a Nazi coward even when it's just talking...

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 week ago

Did he officially bow out then? Jon gave him all the conditions he wanted too...

Lol I forgot about that! Yeah fuck em both of course, but I feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept control of freakin' Russia over nepo-baby "gamer", "engineer" Musk. What a goofy threat. And I say that as a middling gamer and engineer myself lol

Putin is 5' 7", like 160 lbs, and 70 years old. Elon is 6'2", probably 200 lbs, and 52 years old.

I don't think fitness and training can overcome 20 years, 50 lbs, and a full head of height.

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Huh great point!

[–] some_guy 2 points 1 week ago

and a full head of height.

I thought you were gonna say "full head of transplanted hair," but I was disappointed. I've seen tiny guys take on bigger dudes when they have more skill. The age thing is more what I might think of as an advantage for that doughy chud.

Musk is so fucked up he's gonna make some noises, groan, then shit himself after the first attempt at a swing

70's isn't too shabby in this day and age for a well kept physique, it's 80+ the rot cements itself.

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

As a 6'2" dude, 200 lbs is pretty skinny. I'd bet Musk is closer to 250 lbs of useless fascist.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Putin also practiced judo for most of his life. Musk won’t be standing for long during the match.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s Zuck and Elon not Elon and Putin.

[–] Patch@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The Tweet linked in the OP is Musk claiming that he challenged Putin to a fist fight.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh I missed that part. Thanks. I tend not to read his tweets because they make me angry.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I hate Zuck but in this match I’m thinking if it’s not mutually assured destruction, then I might root for Zuck. Elon is becoming a very big problem.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or 400 pounds of semtex under the cage. 2 birds, one ring.

[–] Fluke@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

I would literally give away a kidney to see that live, through binoculars from about a half mile away.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Zuck is actually fit, trains, and is 10 years younger, hence why Elon chickened out.

[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don’t respect Putin very much, but I am 1000 percent sure that a former KGB agent will whoop Musks ass. Apart from that, wtf is he trying to show with challenging Putin to physical combat. What does that have to do with Ukraine?

[–] some_guy 1 points 1 week ago

He's just a moron.

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least Zuckerberg looks good now. Musk looks like shite

[–] some_guy 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Eh, I'd say he looks less like a robot rather than good. But yeah.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human...sweat, bad breath, everything.
