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?

I'd rather see them have a duel at dawn, or whenever.
So zuccyboy called musk and said, hey elon my metatrap is not getting any free publicity lately & your blue bird looks kinda dead, do you have any ideas? Sure, let's stage some fake mma bs so that everybody can talk about, Joe will do some small talk for the populi about our everyday struggles, shinning different light on our cumbersome lives and we profit again. Great idea loonyboy, I'm in.

I swear, the world's turned into a parody of itself without any of us realizing it. Where's the fucking cameras?
We realize. There's just no way to stop this right now.
Hopefully they off each other.
Yes because with any other scenario no matter who wins we lose.
Could we just leave them in the cage?
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!

My money is on the Zuck, he's got that BJJ and Elon looks like a chicken nugget.
Zuck's gonna tear him apart; he's got that android strength.
LMAO
Make it to the death!
Both?
Two billionaires enter, zero leave
I would sub to see that!

The Zuck has a lot of training. Musk is a fat roll. Not a good matchup.
Plus, Zuckerberg doesn't feel pain. He doesn't feel anything.
What if Zuckerberg just unhinges his jaw and swallows Musk whole? I hope the ref doesn't interfere.
I hope he fucking chokes on it too. Both lose and everyone else wins.

Actually it's a great matchup cause we get to see musk get pummeled.
Pillsbury Doughmusk's gonna become the lizard's lunch.
We do, in fact, live in the dumbest possible timeline.
They’re just jealous that the squashed billionaires are hogging all the headlines.
If the pay-per-view stream of the fight doesn't include a stock ticker for their respective companies, I will be deeply disappointed.
I had to look this up because I thought it was fake.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
I really thought this was an onion article. I'm still not convinced it isn't yet.
These two guys together in the same room would create a negative charisma black hole
I'm down if it's a fight to the death.
As much as I hate the notion of giving either of these dbags money, I'm paying to see this fight.
What the fuck is this world now lol?
Oh hey look everyone! Elon Musk is doing a thing! Let's give him the attention he so desperately craves as a man-child who never had to work a day in his life.

Let's close the loser's platform
I ate the news. Thought this was the onion...
I dislike both men for the net harm that they've inflicted on humanity.
But if this actually went down, Mark Zuckerberg would beat the brakes off of Elon Musk.

Why's everybody seething with rage? This is hilarious. It's easy to get bent out of shape when the flaws of powerful people have a disproportionate effect on others, but those flaws are, in themselves, an indication that the humanity has not yet been completely purged from industrialized society.
Okay, you hate the rich. I understand, but we've been dealing with them since we noticed that grain grows better on certain land, and we'll be stuck dealing with them until individuals can freely convert matter and energy. Okay, these guys are egomaniacal man babies. They're taking it out on each other! Honestly, would you rather they resolved their differences and cut a deal to (further) integrate Meta and Twitter? Let them fight.
I like this attitude and I agree! It's your turn to be here for our entertainment, silly rich manbabies. Dance for us!
What a great way to sum it up! It's time they wore their clown shoes and did some tricks for us.
why would anyone agree to fight an android. zucks gonna terminate him.
