Meta boss says ‘time to move on’ after Twitter owner fails to name date and says he needs surgery

This isn't even the last word in this nonsense.

The latest is that Musk, who clearly never knows when to shut the fuck up, called Zuck a coward when Zuck essentially offered Musk an "out" by saying to move on.

Hate both these fucks, but Zuck would destroy Elon. Time and again Zuck is giving Elon a way out of this and time and again Elon finds a way to look like an even bigger loser.

Getting beat by Zuck is going to push Elon past "deluded rich douchebag" to full-on Bond villain, I fear.

I'm gonna be honest, I have a small level of respect for Zuck. As long as I ignore the fact that Facebook has pioneered destroying online privacy that is ...

Despite being one of the richest men on the planet, and running one of the largest tech companies on the planet, he has actually been a good father/husband from what I understand. Also, he knows when to shut the fuck up and let his PR people tell him what to say.

Musk is insufferable. Arrogant, know-it-all, blabbering asshole. Reading through his Twitter is cringe, just in the last week he's retweeted like 5+ COVID conspiracy or "anti-woke" things.

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I don't follow Zuck in the slightest bit but if he just shuts the fuck up and simply enjoy his billions of dollars that still makes him better than Elon. The single worst thing about Musk is that he came onto the scene acting like he was a friend of the Left and environmentalists and stuff like that, when he clearly was just using them.

[–] lickmysword@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good thing no country would proliferate such a personality.

Right? Right!? /s

[–] czarrie@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

When Musk gets kicked out of art school, we'd better be ready

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 63 points 2 years ago

While this is not news, I do have to say that this confirms my suspicions that Elon Musk is a bitch. Well, they are both bitches, but Musk is the biggest bitch.

[–] masterairmagic@sh.itjust.works 58 points 2 years ago (4 children)

We're living in a bizarro world where Zuck is cool thanks to Elon.

[–] alex@jlai.lu 43 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"cool"... let's not take it too far. let's keep it at "slightly less awful than musk"

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

Greedy business robot vs Nazi attention whore.

[–] garlic@feddit.nl 17 points 2 years ago

Nothing about this makes Zuckerberg cool....

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You are the only one that thinks he’s cool.

[–] RomeCallen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

i dunno

maybe cools not the right word, but i dunno...

[–] Smoogy@kbin.social -4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Please don’t romanticize unnecessary violence. And all just because two irrational idiots failed at communication with egos the size of the sun. This is how toxic masculinity is made.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

What makes you think Musk getting his ass kicked isn't necessary?

[–] Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Eh. On the musk side, definitely. He saw someone he didn't like and started mocking him and challenging him to fights because musk "is bigger"

Zuck is a robot so shitty that even Simone Giertz couldn't get a video out of it and he is tied to... a decent number of stolen elections and coups and ethnic cleansings. But, when he isn't manipulating the world or making a shitty version of VR Chat, he is an amateur martial artist and has friendly "mma matches" on the weekends. This would be like asking your buddy who rents track time every few months if you can race them.

And throughout the entire thing: musk has been a loud jackass who constantly tries to weasel out (and there is no Delaware court to make him follow through this time). Whereas zuck basically said "Cool, I'll fight you. How about this time and this place?" before shifting to "You are wasting my time and everyone else's time. Call me if you ever grow up"

Like, Zuck is a monster. He is basically everything musk wishes he could be. But he has actually handled this in an incredibly mature and "adult" way.

This is not news.

[–] totallynotarobot@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You accidentally posted this to c/news instead of c/wanks

Please stop. We do not care.

[–] iegod@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

While I'm with you, the votes determine that, not our individual opinions.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd buy pay-per-view and have a watch party if it was going to be a gun fight.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 years ago

And you’d be part of the problem.

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Honestly, I really wanted to see it.

Knew it wouldn't ever actually happen though...

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Two dickheads aren’t doing a thing. Can we stop posting about this non-story already? Who the fuck cares

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is the stupidest story in the world. Can we not upvote this shit?

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Everyone seems to love drama more than actual news…in a news community.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

I would love to ignore an event where these two pasty idiots bitch slap each other stupid.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Good. This should never have happened to begin with. These idiots don’t need any more popularity, and anyone buying into this bullshit giving it to them. They both need to be forgotten. But too many morons won’t let that happen.

This is so fucking stupid.

[–] pozbo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Musk will be ready in 2 years, give the poor old billionaire pussy a break.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Zuckerberg is right completely.
