    Firstly I’d be more interested if it was pistol duelling.

    Secondly, someone restream it to a Fediverse platform please.

      IDK, watching Musk get hospitalized because he refuses to tap out and Zuck has him in some crazy choke hold would make me happy. Zuck dislocating Musk’s shoulder making him unable to Tweet for a month would also bring me joy.

        Yeah but it’s only going to amount to a slap fight.

        Raise the stakes, fight to the death. The loser donates their fortune to provide insulin and food to the needy.

      A duel with pistols is the only thing I would watch. Aside from that, let’s stop talking about either of them. Let them fade out.

      It’s really just the classic celebrity trap. The Kardashians are celebrities because we keep talking about them, and we keep talking about them because they’re celebrities. (also something about the OJ trial originally). Like, can we just focus on something else.

        Weird thing is I’ve never once heard anyone in my real life (this includes extended family on both sides & work colleagues) say anything about the Kardashians. I can’t even form an image in my mind of what the “typical Kardashian viewer” is like because I’ve honestly never met even one.

          Well, there is also something to be said for the media pushing this crap down in the first place.

      I think it’s not a good idea to ignore what two of the richest people in the world are doing with two of the most popular social media platforms.

        Id agree, but maybe if people ignore Facebook and Twitter we could start treating them like every other evil billionaire. Maybe instead of enough musk spam, just have it news about all of the evil fucks and then he’s not getting all the attention.

            Who said that? Ignore what he and Zuckerberg are taking about regarding this fake PR fight that’s never going to happen.

            Of course everyone should be critical of what these people are doing but don’t jump through their deceptive hoops but actually do some digging into what they’re all up to, who they do deals with, who they meet outside of the public eye.

            They’re not going to advertise the interesting shady stuff via their Twitter fights.

            Come on, man.

      Can’t believe you took the time to engage with this post by commenting rather than taking your own advice.

    The more attention these anti-democratic billionaires get, the worse off we all are. #BoycottMusk #BoycottZuckerberg

      Nor will they ever physically fight each other. I mean Zuck would probably gladly kick Elon in the face, considering his new thing is martial arts and Musk is probably 10 years older than him, but Elongated would have to be a complete moron to accept that fight and actually show up. Unless he’s planning a Commodus routine, where he captures Zuckerfuck first, ties him up, tells him how great he is, and then stabs him below the armor just before the fight.

    Look I just wanna watch Zuck make Elon punch himself until he cries. Is that too much to ask?

        It never occured to me, but in Mexican Spanish, X is sometimes pronounced “sh”, so you just gave me the perfect name for Space Karen’s app. Thank you!

        That’s the most likely scenario, but remember that when so few people bought checkmarks, Musk just randomly assigned them to influential people to make Blue look more credible/in demand than it actually was.

    this should be the biggest yawn of the century.

    it seems like everyone wants our attention on the super important things going on like two middle aged billionaires having a pathetic fight. why is that?

    This is like Cleganebowl except with a burning planet instead of a castle, and weedy autistic narcissists for combatants.
