Can we just put them both in a cage, lose the key, and move on as a species?
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.
Yah I think Zuck would win.
wait like, not as a metaphor but an actual cage match? Why-- actually nah, i'm all for it, sure. I'll be rooting for cage to win.
This is a good start. Let's have a mandatory tournament for all billionaires. They could have the option of not participating for...let's say 5 billion, which would be distributed to various charities (otherwise poor Buffett would probably die in the ring). Anyone that loses a match has to pay some taxes.
I feel weird supporting Zuck, but the thought of someone knocking that shit-eating grin off Elon’s face…
Yes, it's impressive that he's made evil overlord Zuckerberg seem like the people's champion.
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.
The society of spectacle in all its absurd glory. Sigh
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 of yore who sent us to slaughter in order to satisfy their ambitions of empire.
Their interests are not aligned with ours.
A boring dystopia.
It happened! Here's video:
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.
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.
Good luck to both of them. May it end up in a tie. If you know what I mean.
We slightly modified the rules of thunderdome. Fewer people leave in this version.
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
I really enjoy that you apologized before engaging with knowledge on the subject. I agree on all fronts, including the vague sense of shame.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
