    My money would also be on Zuck, he is in great shape and also does judo competitions.

    Elon is pale and round, he sleeps at the office and is a workaholic.

      I think Zuck does BJJ, not judo. Which would be even better for the cage fight.

      Also, having hydraulic joints and titanium frame helps to absorb any damage Musk could inflict.

      Isn’t it depressing? This is literally where humanity has come to? Two billionaire tech-bros acting like spoiled children and we, the plebs, cheering like we did for the kings who sent us to slaughter so they could satisfy their ambitions of empire in medieval times.

      Their interests are not aligned with ours.

        I hope they take eachother out.

        But all in all, the lizzuck is the most likely to win given his MMA background.

    I’m a long-time proponent of the participants of such matches being handed a single brick before they go into whatever closed room or arena has been agreed upon. Also leave a third brick in the middle of the area. It creates a certain degree of strategy. It also livens up the “just hugging” part of the fight that many UFC or boxing matches kinda devolve into.

    Do you throw the brick? Use it to block a thrown brick? Use it add a blunt weapon? Plus you need to get that third brick, but doing so exposes you to getting hit with a brick as you bend down to get it. There’s so many choices it’s like rock, paper, scissors except it’s just brick, brick, brick.

    I feel weird supporting Zuck, but the thought of someone knocking that shit-eating grin off Elon’s face…

      Seriously, this is the first time I’ve been on his side I think ever….I don’t like it, but I stand by it.

    You know how the meme goes: “let them fight”.

    (More fitting, the Alien vs Predator tagline: “whichever wins, we lose.”)

    That said, the state of things, when I first read a headline about this I thought it was a pair of imitators, or bot impersonators, or something “comedic”. I never would have thought it was them, especially Zuck, who seems to steer clear of dumb stuff like this (or at least I haven’t seen any of it until now).

    I’m sorry for the level of discourse I’m about to engage in, but Zuckerberg knows Jiujitsu, I think if Musk had any actual training in any skillful way of fighting we would’ve seen it - the dude probably knows Zuckerberg knows jiujitsu, maybe he was just hoping that he would ignore the challenge? lmao

    [Musk] has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights"

    dude’s gonna break his back if he doesnt back out last minute

      Musk has his hair implants and synthol muscles.
      But Zuck has the dead eyes and robotic mercilessness of a terminator. And he’s been MMA training for years.

      Much as I hate Zuck this will serve to humiliate Musk no matter if he commits or backs down. And I’m all about that.

      I really enjoy that you apologized before engaging with knowledge on the subject. I agree on all fronts, including the vague sense of shame.

    They’ve made a Trump-Biden AI debate, what are you creatives waiting to make a Musk-Zuck Mortal Kombat stream?

      There was a version of the game Totally Accurate Battle Simulator years ago that let you pit Trump vs. Hillary. Trump deployed a giant wall to defend and Hillary fired lethal gmail icons. Good times and I fully support more of that in gaming.

    Much prefer a cage match between Musk and one of the many Twitter employees he stiffed. I am sure there would be no shortage of Twitter volunteers.

    As if these two needed their egos stroked even more. I’ll never understand why billionaires need so much attention, and why on earth we give it to them.

      It’s one of the few things you can’t buy outright. And I don’t believe you can amass and keep a billion dollars without having some kind of fundamental need that can’t be filled, and once they realize that the money isn’t doing it, they go for whatever else they can.
