An Indianapolis based bankruptcy attorney, named Mark Steven Zuckerberg, is suing Meta over repeated confusion with CEO Mark Elliot Zuckerberg.

That’s far less crazy than the clickbait headline had me believe.

What did you think the headline meant?

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I thought it meant it was the same guy. Like I didn't know if the FB Mark ever finished college or got a law degree or if he's representing himself. You know how some people will sue themselves or the company they started so they are the plaintiff and the defense.

The irony of this comment goes through the roof

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

The weirdest thing is that it wouldn't be the first time a party has sued itself.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I was actually hoping it was this. My top level response would have been the same though.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Zuckerberg charges Zuckerberg with crime. Jury shrugs, offers death penalty.

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

That's taking "legal suicide" to a whole new level. I'm impressed.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Some rich people shit to avoid paying taxes or something like that.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Without a doubt.

It just seemed clear grammatically that this was two separate people.

If it was some oligarch shenanigans instead of "the" it would have been "as a"

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

That's the first thing that came to mind.

Some sort of scheme.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah and how exactly is that less crazy?

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 5 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Because I thought the two were one and the same.

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, I assumed it was some corporate shenanigans where Zuckerberg sues himself and somehow ends up with more money because of it.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

To me, that is about as crazy as suing someone for his name.

[–] balder1991@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Thank you for saving me a click.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Suing for what? Defamation because they think the lawyer is as sleazy as the ceo?
