It's almost like luck and nepotism are more important for success than ability.
In a cage? Why not a small sub near the Titanic?
Celebrity deathmatch anyone?
The game was great too.
Never pick a fight with an android. I thought everybody knew that.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Edit: feel free to quote me if I'm wrong. Is there an aged like milk sub somewhere?
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.
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?

How is that not the Onion

Can we sew them both up in a leather sack with a badger instead?
Hey now, badgers are lovely creatures
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.
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.
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?

RIP to satire. Reality broke and now fiction can't keep up.
The simulation is broken and keeps generating nonsense.
Has there ever been a simultaneous knock out in boxing before? I'm cheering for that
Double KOs do happen from time to time in fighting games...
...this truly is the weirdest timeline.
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.
I invest in Meta since I figure I'd better make money off of Zuck if he's gonna make money off of me, and I'm curious if my money is literally on him. This seems like the type of universe where stock prices could fluctuate based on whether or not the CEO has a better punch than the other guy.
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
Cue musk backing out “it’s just a joke 🥺🥺🥺🥺” in 3…
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.

Make it to the death!
If they were serious, Musk would get rocked. Musk is older and Zuck has mixed martial arts training.
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?
New Battlebots season's gonna be lit
I... what? I hope there's a way they can both lose.
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
