We’re all Losers in the Billionaires’ Fight

Who wins between Space Karen and The Zuck? Surely not you.

On Wednesday, Elon “Space Karen” Musk posted a message on Twitter (where else?) that he was “up for a cage fight” with Mark “The Zuck” Zuckerberg.

“Send me location”, Zuck replied. Which is ironic; Meta already has everyone’s live location.

We’re told they have since agreed a fight will take place in Las Vegas.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way. The odds of this cage match actually happening are almost nil. We’re talking about CEOs of public companies, who have board and thousands of employees the world over. These people do not fight.

Musk also has a history of making wild promises and not following through, while Zuckerberg is likely ruminating the old adage : “Never wrestle with a pig because you’ll both get dirty and the pig likes it”. Think how loathed you have to be to have a physical fight with Mark Zuckerberg… and everybody roots for Mark Zuckerberg.

Whether a “fight” happens or not is in any case immaterial — we’re all losing in this circus. And that’s not (only) because these two dinguses are spending their days planning fights while saying we’re unproductive when we work from home.
