I gotta be honest, I am all for world governments encouraging and yes, facilitating billionaires to hurt each other in one-on-one combat. Sell tickets and snacks why not. Pay per view. Just give the money to government services.

What with estate taxes, I would think it's potentially quite a valuable use of a goverment's time.

Next we need politicians and policy makers putting their fists to work instead of sending others, preferably in taxable ways, too.

One could dream.

That's how you get President Camacho.

Not complaining. President Camacho knew the limits of his intelligence and listened to a smart advisor when he found one, which puts him ahead of most every other world leader.

So people will fly around stupidly in private jets visiting this crap and damage the environment for nothing. Well they already do that, I‘m still not a fan of them continuing to do that.

At least make it a fight to the death, that might turn this into a climate neutral event.

I think all that would happen is billionaires would pay people to be their 'front' character and somehow find a way to monetize it on the down-low.

Betting his intro song would be "Human" by the Human League.

Nah, even if that happens, he's good if you just pop him in some rice for a day or two.

You say that as if there's a serious chance he'll lose.

He died already, you're just watching its meta-verse avatar now

1

That's the only way I'd tune in. Thunder Dome rules 2 men enter 1 man leaves. So either kill him or castrate him, idc which.

If you had almost infinite money is this how you would spend your time?

Hm, two needy attention-seeking billionaires are stirring up publicity for themselves. Let's do our part and comment on it and share posts about it, gang!

I know it will never happen, but damn I'd love to see Zuck mop the floor with space Karen.

Right like I don't particularly like Zuckerberg, I just want to see [someone] kick Musk's ass.

2

I really wish MTV still did Celebrity Death Match because I think that is as real as this could get.

5

Both Musk and Zuck are reportedly fully committed and have been engaging in negotiations with Dana White regarding the fight's specifics multiple times a day for over a week.

The main challenge lies in the significant height and weight difference between the two contenders, although both men seem unfazed by this issue.

I dunno, seems they're keen for it.

TBH Im tired of constantly hearing ab their sillyness tho i know keeping themselves in the news is maybe at least part of the goal of this lol.

4

That's what I keep thinking. Like on one hand, watching Musk get beat up sounds entertaining. On the other hand, it's a publicity stunt and feels like the next step towards Idiocracy.

3

Gonna need them to pay to restore it to its former glory first, complete with all the devices and special features in the floor.

I like the idea but would suggest African wild dogs instead. Lions would be too fast.

Oh yeah, cape hunting dogs like to play with their meat first. It's play for them, but for their victims...

If they make it so each time any of them get hit they have to cough up half a billion for the tax this might not be such a bad idea. If only.

I can picture it now…Two spineless egomaniacs tossing bundles of $100’s at each other.

Now if they include a third party (we know neither likes those) it could get interesting. Maybe a prisoner (non-violent offense) who would get a greatly reduced sentence if Elon and Zuck lose.

That would be more Colosseum style than any UFC match.

3

So it's to the death, and the crowd gets to throw stones at the winner, right?

I made a quick edit to my post, saved and it double posted with two different versions. The original got deleted. Sorry to leave your comment hanging like that. I didn't mean to fellow trekkie! :)
