He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. Theyโ€™re both pieces of shit.

He even chickened out of his recent offer to come on the Daily Show and debate Jon Stewart! He's a Nazi coward even when it's just talking...

[โ€“] Obi@sopuli.xyz 12 points 4 months ago

Did he officially bow out then? Jon gave him all the conditions he wanted too...

Lol I forgot about that! Yeah fuck em both of course, but I feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept control of freakin' Russia over nepo-baby "gamer", "engineer" Musk. What a goofy threat. And I say that as a middling gamer and engineer myself lol

Putin also practiced judo for most of his life. Musk wonโ€™t be standing for long during the match.

Itโ€™s Zuck and Elon not Elon and Putin.

[โ€“] Patch@feddit.uk 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The Tweet linked in the OP is Musk claiming that he challenged Putin to a fist fight.

Oh I missed that part. Thanks. I tend not to read his tweets because they make me angry.

[โ€“] billwashere@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I hate Zuck but in this match Iโ€™m thinking if itโ€™s not mutually assured destruction, then I might root for Zuck. Elon is becoming a very big problem.

Or 400 pounds of semtex under the cage. 2 birds, one ring.

I would literally give away a kidney to see that live, through binoculars from about a half mile away.

I donโ€™t respect Putin very much, but I am 1000 percent sure that a former KGB agent will whoop Musks ass. Apart from that, wtf is he trying to show with challenging Putin to physical combat. What does that have to do with Ukraine?

[โ€“] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

He's just a moron.

[โ€“] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

At least Zuckerberg looks good now. Musk looks like shite

[โ€“] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Eh, I'd say he looks less like a robot rather than good. But yeah.

The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human...sweat, bad breath, everything.
