Not really. We probably agree on almost everything, that is fact based and scientific. Might even agree on what tastes good.

Mark Zuckerberg agrees to Elon Musk cage match challenge - The Verge

I'd watch this and just hope for max pain on both sides.

Some kind of impossible double-knockout-death-blow would be best.

I’m only watching if Tom from MySpace is the ref.

I would bet on Zuck for two main reasons, first he seems to have some competition fighting experience, and fighting with rules is different than ‘street fighting’ without them. Second, there’s a chance he’s been knocked in the head recently. Most amateurs who go into fights (especially those trained in softer martial arts) don’t understand what being hit is like and the first time they get seriously knocked in the head often dazes the shit out of them if they don’t go down immediately because it’s way more jarring than the movies make it seem. Musk just seems like someone who would be trash talking right before a shot to the jaw lays him flat and ends the fight. But really the only way I expect Musk in the ring is if he’s allowed to choose the winner.

Uwe Boll can direct the movie: Billionaires. A retrospective of our stupid times. Lowtax could cameo if he hadn’t whacked himself.

The rubes will think this is an actual fight, and spend 100$ on the pay per view. The two billionaires get richer, and laugh all the way to the bank.

Joe Rogan will be announcing, it's gonna be fucking awesome.

Thank goodness for an uncensored Twitter. This Russian Civil war footage is unbelievable.

First time in history a civil war is being live streamed


The nuclear shit should be a totally fabulous shitshow at the end of the world

It's ironic that the 2020 comic above is still just as funny in 2023. But for different reasons.

She probably saw what Elon did to the guy in the last fight. It's a valid point. Watching Elon fuck up Zuckerberg will not help his image in any way.

The same can be said if Zuck fucks up Elon.
