      It’s almost like luck and nepotism are more important for success than ability.

      say what you will about zuck, but he is not an attention whore. Especially when you consider he made a social media site designed to get people to overshare.

      I’m with you on this one. Seems like the richer you get the more validation you need. I don’t understand why we are giving them this attention either. I came here looking for people making jokes about how silly this is and that is not what I got

        This! And on top of that the article casually mentions that Musk frames cis and cisgender as slurs on Twitter!! This seems much more relevant to be posted here. I just hope Twitter died already…

    We all know Musk is gonna talk big talk and then do everything in his power to try and come up with excuses to back out last minute.

    Like he always does.

    Say what you want about Zuck but IIRC the dude has been actively learning martial arts for awhile, no? Isn’t that one of his hobbies he has talked about before?

    Reality really did take a strange turn back in 2020 didn’t it? This decade just gets weirder and weirder.

    The “lol” at the end of Musk’s comment clearly indicated that he was joking yet people are taking this seriously for some reason.

    In order to do a walrus attack, you have to actually get your opponent on the ground. What’s the name of that female KFC fighter who was a beast at grappling but got into a ring with a boxer? She was destroyed because she couldn’t get close.
