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.

[–] tyo_ukko@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Exilfranke@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Not even fair. The Zuck is a robot he doesn't even feel any pain.

The society of spectacle in all its absurd glory. Sigh

[–] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 who sent us to slaughter so they could satisfy their ambitions of empire in medieval times.

Their interests are not aligned with ours.

[–] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago

I hope they take eachother out.

But all in all, the lizzuck is the most likely to win given his MMA background.

A boring dystopia.

[–] g0nz0li0@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel weird supporting Zuck, but the thought of someone knocking that shit-eating grin off Elon’s face…

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's impressive that he's made evil overlord Zuckerberg seem like the people's champion.

[–] Clairvoidance@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

They've made a Trump-Biden AI debate, what are you creatives waiting to make a Musk-Zuck Mortal Kombat stream?

Good luck to both of them. May it end up in a tie. If you know what I mean.

Can we just put them both in a cage, lose the key, and move on as a species?

[–] Spellbind0127@geddit.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yah I think Zuck would win.

Is this the real life?

Oh shit! Celebrity Deathmatch is finally getting a new season!?

[–] Bats@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

This has Celebrity Death Match vibes...

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.

[–] Fauxreigner@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

It happened! Here's video:

[–] GolGolarion@pathfinder.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] AndrewOz@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Much prefer a cage match between Musk and one of the many Twitter employees he stiffed. I am sure there would be no shortage of Twitter volunteers.

[–] Nitrate55@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago

I hate them both, but I hope Zucc beats the shit out of Musk. Assuming Musk doesn't just back out like a coward anyway

[–] AdverbNounNumber@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

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.
