Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg showdown may reportedly happen in Rome’s Colosseum

Honestly, this seems like a win-win for humanity. We get entertainment, money's raised for a charity, and Musk & Zuck get a unique experience and maybe a reputation boost. Unless one them is killed or seriously injured, in which case that might alter the course of their companies—but it seems like the benefits outweigh the risks (for us).

I hope that this represents peak societal insanity, but I fear that we're only at the start of that curve.

Either way, this makes both of them look even more ridiculous and idiotic. So at least there's a win there.

What's insane, idiotic, or ridiculous about doing something fun and for a good cause? These are things that life should be about

Nobles used to duel with pistols and die. A publicity stunt like this is nothing.

Is there any place where I can vote on lions being released at some point? Why break from tradition in the Colosseum?

Yes, and don’t forget pollice verso:

There is something REALLY great about Mark Zuckerberg being spared or not spared by a thumbs up or thumbs down. I would click that like button!

I am surprised Jones would rather help Zuck, it’s not like he uses FB to talk to the fans. But GSP training Musk is big. I would actually be pretty excited for this if they went through with it, a few hours of cheesy entertainment, that said - I don’t think Musk has a chance.

Glad these two are keeping things fun and weird. I hope this spectacle happens and raises a ton of money for charity.

Billionaire bros fighting in the Colosseum… circa 2024…

Just need Jeff Bezos directing filming it from his phallic space cruiser. Bill Gates fits in somewhere too, not sure where, but he will need a seat. Maybe he can manage the SecUnit MedRepair Autobot-Tron 3000.

Who else do we send?
