    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.

      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.

      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.

    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!

      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.

      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.
