Surely this is a massive publicity stunt/wine up?
They're not really going to dress up as gladiators and grapple with each other, are they?

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.

Italy could host Musk v Zuckerberg cage fight

The culture minister says he has spoken to the X boss about hosting the showdown as a charity event.

Apparently Zuckerberg is not bad and has won some competitions.🤷

OohOohOohOohOoooh · 12/08/2023 11:43

Wind up not wine up! Although I would have to be very drunk to watch it.

What a pair of penises. You would honestly not see women doing this.

Lock them in a cage and throw away the key.

🙄

A couple of billionaires playing who’s got the biggest bollocks? I can’t be arsed to feed the attention they’re clearly craving.

if they had a scrap on TikTok without all the fanfare I’d have slightly more respect for them. Only slightly though.

FourTeaFallOut · 12/08/2023 11:46

I mean, they might 🤷 Two mega egos unrestricted by financial and social constraints, propped up by grandiose narratives of masculinity, meating out their own brand of justice for perceived slights and a global audience to boot.

Maybe we should get all powerful men with chips on their shoulder to nut it out in the ring and keep us common folk out of it.

liondreams · 12/08/2023 11:47

it's probably just to generate publicity and won't actually happen!

CoffeandTiaMaria · 12/08/2023 11:49

Two mega egos willy waving 🙄
Pathetic.

CoffeandTiaMaria · 12/08/2023 11:49

Clearly equally desperate for seeking attention.

eandz13 · 12/08/2023 11:51

I hope they do!
I think it's quite exciting (if bizarre), my money is on Musk.

Towdalinenow · 12/08/2023 11:53

Absolutely ridiculous

Towdalinenow · 12/08/2023 11:53

…. But I would watch it

Speak for yourself, I'd watch it with morbid fascination.

GoingToBeLessRubbishAtLife · 12/08/2023 11:57

I’ve seen Zuckerberg chucking people around doing some sort of martial arts (I think).

All the famous people have a club together. Plus Lex Friedman does it.

He's quite flabby isn't he? I'd love to watch this!

People who he pays or you know, someone who wouldn't be penalized in some way for not playing the game?

Hes 50+ with dad bod😁
money to hire great trainers yet not likely to hit professional cage fighting standard

I can see him win or lose, having a laugh at himself

I can see the financial markets having a melt down when MrZ starts the pre-match promo🤪

OohOohOohOohOoooh · 12/08/2023 12:12

Oh I didn't know they were into martial arts. It just sounded utterly bizarre.
Can you have a draw in cage fighting? Surely neither of them would want to risk losing?

Yeah, Musk is deadly serious. He's even worked out his killer move... The walrus.

yetanotherchangeofname · 12/08/2023 12:18

lol, Musk is already preparing excuses to avoid it. He proposed it not expecting Zuckerberg to actually agree.
