I gotta be honest, I am all for world governments encouraging and yes, facilitating billionaires to hurt each other in one-on-one combat. Sell tickets and snacks why not. Pay per view. Just give the money to government services.

What with estate taxes, I would think it's potentially quite a valuable use of a goverment's time.
- Next we need politicians and policy makers putting their fists to work instead of sending others, preferably in taxable ways, too.
  
  One could dream.
  
  That's how you get President Camacho.
  
  Not complaining. President Camacho knew the limits of his intelligence and listened to a smart advisor when he found one, which puts him ahead of most every other world leader.
- I think all that would happen is billionaires would pay people to be their 'front' character and somehow find a way to monetize it on the down-low.
  
  I think you've just backed your way into boxing/MMA again lol.
- So people will fly around stupidly in private jets visiting this crap and damage the environment for nothing. Well they already do that, I‘m still not a fan of them continuing to do that.
  
  At least make it a fight to the death, that might turn this into a climate neutral event.
  
  Hide Penta under the ring and let him loose three minutes in
Is it to the death? Please say it's to the death.
- But can Mark… die?
  
  Betting his intro song would be "Human" by the Human League.
  
  Only if you crack the waterproof coating on his motherboard.
  
  You say that as if there's a serious chance he'll lose.
  
  Eh, they could just boot up another copy and restore from backup.
  
  You ever play rockem sockem robots? I expect it's something like that.
  
  unless they've uploaded his consciousness to another computer, which I don't think they can do yet... if you destroy the machine, you destroy the man.
  
  He died already, you're just watching its meta-verse avatar now
- Oh I hope so.
- That's the only way I'd tune in. Thunder Dome rules 2 men enter 1 man leaves. So either kill him or castrate him, idc which.
- @inkican
  
  @Girlparts
  
  You have to say it like Vulcan Ambassador 'T'Pau' in Star Trek:
  
  '' ...dis fight is to de dett...'
- For sure you can't poo till the end.
If you had almost infinite money is this how you would spend your time?
- Yawn.
Will there be lions?
Hm, two needy attention-seeking billionaires are stirring up publicity for themselves. Let's do our part and comment on it and share posts about it, gang!
- It’s like the lottery - you don’t buy the ticket for the money, you buy for the fantasy. We’re gonna hear about these guys five times a week, anyway - might as well imagine them getting bludgeoned to death, as well
I know it will never happen, but damn I'd love to see Zuck mop the floor with space Karen.
- Right like I don't particularly like Zuckerberg, I just want to see [someone] kick Musk's ass.
Winner faces lions?
TBH Im tired of constantly hearing ab their sillyness tho i know keeping themselves in the news is maybe at least part of the goal of this lol.
- That's what I keep thinking. Like on one hand, watching Musk get beat up sounds entertaining. On the other hand, it's a publicity stunt and feels like the next step towards Idiocracy.
as long as they bring the lions
If they make it so each time any of them get hit they have to cough up half a billion for the tax this might not be such a bad idea. If only.
Gonna need them to pay to restore it to its former glory first, complete with all the devices and special features in the floor.
They're here. Now lock the doors and release the lions.
- I like the idea but would suggest African wild dogs instead. Lions would be too fast.
  
  Oh yeah, cape hunting dogs like to play with their meat first. It's play for them, but for their victims...
Hoping Zuckerberg can win. This is truly hilarious.
This is getting good...
No chance this was ever going to happen...
- Both Musk and Zuck are reportedly fully committed and have been engaging in negotiations with Dana White regarding the fight's specifics multiple times a day for over a week.
  
  The main challenge lies in the significant height and weight difference between the two contenders, although both men seem unfazed by this issue.
  
  I dunno, seems they're keen for it.
Hahaha what the fuck is going on?! This timeline really is just fucked isn't it?
I really wish MTV still did Celebrity Death Match because I think that is as real as this could get.
Give them swords too, if we're going to have the first gladiator match in that thing in nearly 2000 years.
I can picture it now…Two spineless egomaniacs tossing bundles of $100’s at each other.

Now if they include a third party (we know neither likes those) it could get interesting. Maybe a prisoner (non-violent offense) who would get a greatly reduced sentence if Elon and Zuck lose.

That would be more Colosseum style than any UFC match.
- Francis Ngannou.
So it's to the death, and the crowd gets to throw stones at the winner, right?
bets on zuck the money peeping lizard gonna cave elon chungus face in
But I thought I heard that Musk's mom said NO WAY.
We need a bill gates vs kaz hirai cage match next...although its a decade too late, better late than never..
When is Elon’s mommy gonna step in and call it off?
