Meta boss says ‘time to move on’ after Twitter owner fails to name date and says he needs surgery

This isn't even the last word in this nonsense.

The latest is that Musk, who clearly never knows when to shut the fuck up, called Zuck a coward when Zuck essentially offered Musk an "out" by saying to move on.

Hate both these fucks, but Zuck would destroy Elon. Time and again Zuck is giving Elon a way out of this and time and again Elon finds a way to look like an even bigger loser.

Getting beat by Zuck is going to push Elon past "deluded rich douchebag" to full-on Bond villain, I fear.

I'm gonna be honest, I have a small level of respect for Zuck. As long as I ignore the fact that Facebook has pioneered destroying online privacy that is ...

Despite being one of the richest men on the planet, and running one of the largest tech companies on the planet, he has actually been a good father/husband from what I understand. Also, he knows when to shut the fuck up and let his PR people tell him what to say.

Musk is insufferable. Arrogant, know-it-all, blabbering asshole. Reading through his Twitter is cringe, just in the last week he's retweeted like 5+ COVID conspiracy or "anti-woke" things.

I don't follow Zuck in the slightest bit but if he just shuts the fuck up and simply enjoy his billions of dollars that still makes him better than Elon. The single worst thing about Musk is that he came onto the scene acting like he was a friend of the Left and environmentalists and stuff like that, when he clearly was just using them.

Good thing no country would proliferate such a personality.

Right? Right!? /s

When Musk gets kicked out of art school, we'd better be ready

“I offered a real date. Dana White (UFC boss) offered to make this a legit competition for charity.

“Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead.

“If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.”

We're living in a bizarro world where Zuck is cool thanks to Elon.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"cool"... let's not take it too far. let's keep it at "slightly less awful than musk"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Greedy business robot vs Nazi attention whore.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Nothing about this makes Zuckerberg cool....

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are the only one that thinks he’s cool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i dunno

maybe cools not the right word, but i dunno...

[–] [email protected] 74 points 1 year ago

While this is not news, I do have to say that this confirms my suspicions that Elon Musk is a bitch. Well, they are both bitches, but Musk is the biggest bitch.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago

This is not news.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You accidentally posted this to c/news instead of c/wanks

Please stop. We do not care.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

While I'm with you, the votes determine that, not our individual opinions.

I'd buy pay-per-view and have a watch party if it was going to be a gun fight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I really wanted to see it.

Knew it wouldn't ever actually happen though...

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

Two dickheads aren’t doing a thing. Can we stop posting about this non-story already? Who the fuck cares

[–] atzanteol 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the stupidest story in the world. Can we not upvote this shit?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Everyone seems to love drama more than actual news…in a news community.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

I would love to ignore an event where these two pasty idiots bitch slap each other stupid.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

I’d despise them both. But I’m willing to watch the Zuck rip off Elmo’s leg and beat him to death with it.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat 3 points 1 year ago

This is so fucking stupid.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Musk will be ready in 2 years, give the poor old billionaire pussy a break.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Zuckerberg is right completely.
