Musk says so, so it must be true, right?

    “Musk says” is a phrase that needs to be treated properly: as an injustice against the poor letters trapped within it and not as anything approaching meaning.

      I mean, he suggested it, Zuck responded, and now he’s doubling down. He has a pretty solid track record of doubling down on stupid decisions and embarrassing himself.

        More of a history of doubling-down in front of everyone while trying to find loopholes to get out of it behind the scenes, finally being forced to do it kicking and screaming THEN embarrassing himself.

      Are you kidding? Seeing two billionaires beat the crap out of each other? That’s the best sounding entertainment I’ve heard of in years.

    Let’s all hope for a fatal outcome. Then we all might stop hearing about at least one of these two. 🤞

    Is Musk really that excited to get knocked around like a toy? Zuckerberg is very fit, trained in jiu-jitsu, eats healthy, and is active in that space. Musk has nothing since childhood but his ego and is 51 years old.

      Musk is extremely thick headed, so he will probably go head first and hope for the best.

      No corners in a cage, but we could strategically throw a few in for good luck. ;)

    I don’t see how this would be competitive at all. Zuck should easily be able to put this dude on his ass.

    In a day or two, to keep in the news, musky will pull out for some stupid reason. And there will be more posts about it.

    Move on from the manchild.
