    The most powerful people in the world are fucking idiots.

      It’s almost like luck and nepotism are more important for success than ability.

    Reality really did take a strange turn back in 2020 didn’t it? This decade just gets weirder and weirder.

      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

        This! And on top of that the article casually mentions that Musk frames cis and cisgender as slurs on Twitter!! This seems much more relevant to be posted here. I just hope Twitter died already…

      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.

    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?

        Mr. Titanic Tourism Twit may very well be lauded some day as true pioneer, instead of just another prideful chucklefuck on history’s list of inventors killed by their own invention.

    If they were serious, Musk would get rocked. Musk is older and Zuck has mixed martial arts training.

        I hate Elon Musk, but maybe we can get more creative with our insults? Many people have bodies that look like Musk’s does. Let’s do better than body-shaming.

    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.
