Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg agree to hold cage fight

3 years ago by Rozinante to c/main

Earlier this month, Meta showed staff plans for a text-based social network designed to compete with Twitter.

Two of the world's most high-profile technology billionaires - Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg - have agreed to fight each other in a cage match.

So Zuck's response of "Send Me Location" is an MMA meme from this, looks like BBC missed that though lol. My guess is that we won't see a billionaire cage match any time soon, which is probably a good thing because I think it would be like the McGregor v Mayweather fight where we all just leave sad to have watched it.

People are excited right now because it's invite only. It's got an air of "exclusivity" to it and people just can't handle that shit. Lemmy should have done that instead of that email verification nonsense.

It's meant to be a decentralised version of Twitter. I think it was originally made by Twitter but is now a separate company.

But I don't think it uses the ActivityPub protocol that Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon use, so it won't be interoperable with them. Also, it's invite-only for the moment. So if you want a decentralised Twitter-like experience right now, you could use Mastodon.

I started not to like when people who have some kind of authority constantly try be all silly and goofy and "meme-y". It never seem to go well when theyre like that, they often ended up being really immature or have big ego/hubris, and causing harm because of it. So bc of that im not amused by this tho im sure they think this would amuse us 'commoners' and that theyre 'totally fitting in.' As much as I dont think is necessary for anyone to have that much money, in a world where billionaires do exist id rather they be decent or at least mature and not hear about them constantly, than to hear about them constantly because theyre immature and always trying for attention.
