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?
Never pick a fight with an android. I thought everybody knew that.
Celebrity deathmatch anyone?
The game was great too.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Edit: feel free to quote me if I'm wrong. Is there an aged like milk sub somewhere?
Can we sew them both up in a leather sack with a badger instead?
Hey now, badgers are lovely creatures
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?
He spends his time in VR training like Neo.
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.
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

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.
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
RIP to satire. Reality broke and now fiction can't keep up.
The simulation is broken and keeps generating nonsense.
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
Celebrity Death Match, please
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.
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.
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.
Winner should take on Spez
Winner should jump into a volcano
The "lol" at the end of Musk's comment clearly indicated that he was joking yet people are taking this seriously for some reason.
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?
I demand a fight to the death! TO THE DEATH!
(for both participants)
I place the blame for this squarely at the feet of Al Gore.
The internet was a mistake.
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?
Make it to the death!
...this truly is the weirdest timeline.
Hopefully they fight on a sub near the Titanic.
Not sure who to bet on. They are both stupid, but they also both fight dirty.
I... what? I hope there's a way they can both lose.
New Battlebots season's gonna be lit
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.
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.
