When I saw the first news of this broke a week ago, I thought it was all a big joke, but this seems to be becoming more realistic.

Hope this qualifies for "Technology" since it's two very influential people in the technology industry about to possibly abandon technology and get medieval.

This has absolutely nothing to do with technology.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of them, they are two of the most notorious and influential people in the technology industry.

If this didn't involve these two people, then you'd be completely right.

A post about Bill Gates eating at McDonalds wouldn't belong here, would it?

This post doesn't belong here either.

I hate this timeline. Why is this a thing?

Why don't they get down to brass tax compare their sizes. They don't even need to share. We don't care 😂

Brass tax! Don't give them another kind to avoid!

What the fuck?

Now literal billionaires are cashing in on the "lets fight because people hate both of us so much they'll pay to see us get beat up" craze?

Am I missing something? This has to fake.

I thought it was fake when this news first broke over a week ago, but it's been getting picked up by more and more news sources and the story is developing. It's becoming more real by the day. Bizarre, I know.

I hear concussions can have a pretty severe effect on your personality. Maybe this is what's best for mankind.

One can only hope they both get massive ones.

I'm gonna put 50 on that snake, musk. Zucker looks pretty small, fast, but I think musk overpowers him, and the whole cage gets shot up into orbit where they can do a reenactment of the eternal battle that spawned all creation. Shitty vs shitty = shit
