That stable genius would be selling it by the ounce. Maybe even mixing it into a perfume “Musk de Musk” or some shite. And the fanbois would leap at the chance to pay for the privilege of spritzing his piss directly onto themselves.
ETA: well, shit. Apparently he already has a cologne - “Burnt Hair”. And, yeah, the fanbois bought it all up at $100 a bottle. I don’t think I want to live on this planet anymore
Has Elon got just the ticket for you! Just you wait till Starship is making routine passenger flights to Mars and you won’t have to live on this planet anymore!
Zuckerberg is away, so no clown fight today.
Yeah, Elon’s comment on weight classes is on point - he’s 6 inches taller and something around 40 pounds heavier.
Superior skill can overcome that, but it doesn’t sound like Zuckerberg has been training that long. He’ll need to get in some sort of disabling strike before Musk can grab him (assuming Musk can do that).
I really wish Zuckerberg had refused to engage in the first place. Put Elmo on his “Ignore” list, as it were.
Zuck is training fairly seriously in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The reason Brazilian jiu-jitsu got popular in the first place is that it gives smaller fighters better odds against larger opponents, maybe best demonstrated by Royce Gracie defeating much larger men in UFC1. It focuses heavily on takedowns, grappling, and submission holds, so significant striking would be unlikely. It might seem odd for a smaller opponent to want to wrestle, but wrestling is a lot more about positioning, leverage, and maneuver than raw strength. Striking would actually advantage Musk, since he has a greater reach and probably better power. Zuck hasn’t been training for long, but Musk seems to be a complete amateur. I’d say the most likely scenario is Zuck securing a takedown, followed by a bewildered Musk getting put in a choke or submission hold.
I expect it’d go something like CM Punk’s attempt at starting a UFC career in his late 30s.
Online betting odds favor Zuckerberg, around 80% v 20%.
Psst… don’t tell anyone, but Elmo has already missed his promised date to put people on Mars by two years. New target date is 2029!
Ya know, if he’s going to do us the favor of setting up and emigrate to the most inhospitable environment yet attempted, I’ll just stick around here. While I think it’s possible to make Mars even less livable for human beings, I think he’d be hard pressed to make it happen.
And don’t forget, the ears usually outnumber the followers.
I’d hope so, but you never know.
My limited understanding is that training, depending on degree, compensates for a moderate to very substantial degree of height and weight advantage. Strength and speed also play a moderate to large significant role if they can be used effectively. But being big, but not muscular, might just mean one quickly tires. Being “several weight classes higher” for fighters built like whippets is not the same thing as a random bro with a paunch.
But to someone who has trained to the degree they are capable (and I clearly don’t know how good a blue belt even is, or if Zuck won this fairly without favour), it seems odd to challenge them where they could use their chosen event if not better on something else. One supposes that with mixed martial, Musk could use whatever means he pleased, if indeed at all genuine in his trolling, which is certainly what this seems to be, and how often is trolling genuine? If he just showed up, what is the charity aspect? But of course this is largely just throwing meat to respective tribes and a marketing strategy of making lots of noise.
Musk sounds like a stupid teenager or school yard brat. He’s preening and prancing in front of his flunkies. He calls the other person names, tries pushing him around, and then he struts away and implies it’s that coward, baby, whatever’s fault. What a turd.
TweetDeck, Twitter’s tool for managing posts, notifications, etc, has disappeared behind a paywall.
Why innovate when you can just hold the status quo hostage?
Also has been renamed to an extremely memorable XPro. You can, or course, find XPro by X at tweetdeck.twitter.com.
Hehehe, a glimmer of hope that there’s still an adult working at Twitter (I plan to call it that until people don’t know what I’m talking about).
While the press@twitter.com media contact email address used to auto-reply to all messages with a poop emoji, the auto-reply message now says, “We’ll get back to you soon.”
“In two weeks.”
Hey, it’s a step up from what amounted to “Eat shit”.
