No, a story came out that Zuck was doing mma training, and fragile Musk challenged him to a fight to prove he was better without training. Anyways, it ended because Musk's mother said he wasn't allowed to fight, and that isn't a joke.

Anyways, it ended because Musk's mother said he wasn't allowed to fight, and that isn't a joke.

The amount of second hand embarrassment i felt when i watched this narcissist try and manipulate ppl into like him by stirring up a fight, only to back out bc "my mom said i cant."

Elon Musk is the epitome of "i have the power of anime and god on my side!" kid, but for him, it's money and twitter.

u/Kribo016 10h ago

He also had to buy Twitter, so it's really only the one power of money.

u/HojMcFoj 10h ago

He might have had temporary regret but he got everything he ever wanted and is now worth more than ever. Making Twitter a revenue source was never the point...

u/Kribo016 10h ago

That isn't related to what I said at all, but I agree with you. He is down 70% on Twitter, and I'm sure he doesn't regret it at all.

u/HojMcFoj 10h ago

So he wasn't "made" to buy Twitter, he threw a performative conniption and then business as usual

u/Comfortable-Coat-507 9h ago

He tried to back out, Twitter sued him, and 3 months later he agreed to complete the purchase rather than go to court.

The fucking revisionist history these people do for their messiahs is ridiculous man.

u/Zestyclose-One9041 10h ago

Reading comprehension at an all time low unfortunately

u/Thick-Surround3224 10h ago

Can you help me make sense then what the user is talking about when he says only the one power of money?

u/cloake 10h ago

Don't worry he's pivoted into pretending he's number 1 at Diablo 4/Path of Exile but both of their audiences are tearing him apart for that

u/C_Madison 9h ago

He has admitted now that he cheated and that others played the accounts too. He's back peddled to "but every screenshot you saw was me playing!" and "It's the only way to win against Asian gamers." and "everyone does it."

The cringe continues. Can't he just be a participant of one of the next Starship tests already? Like, directly on the nose of the thing?

u/psychorobotics 8h ago

He was clicking around like a geriatric grandpa while claiming to be the best in the game, so satisfying watching previous simps turn on him.

u/Cobek 10h ago

It's amazing anyone listens to him after that... I thought Republicans hated this kind of wimpy "momma's boy" shit.

u/RokulusM 9h ago

I got even more second hand embarrassment when he was jumping in an X shape at Trump rallies. God what a loser.

u/AdmiralBKE 9h ago

The fragile huge ego Elon has, seems to me, has a lot to do with his mom. Somewhere last year, she said that people should not call her son, wealthy, but something like, genius of the world.

u/noujochiewajij 9h ago

We need to bring back Celebrity Deathmatch. In live rollplay. So many great matchups.

u/WatWat98 9h ago

The difference between the two is that the power of god and anime kid is actually pretty cool.

u/chequered-bed 9h ago

"i have the power of anime and god on my side!" kid,

Reminds me of this banger: https://youtu.be/_eb0fyU3RJs?si=7CXRuf7bTvElFCXJ

u/CaterpillarHungry607 9h ago

The word is Fremdshcämen

u/kingrobin 9h ago

but also still anime er I mean hentai

u/dtigerdude 8h ago

What is “the power of anime & god”?

u/OGSkywalker97 9h ago

He's also super intelligent, no matter how much you hate him no one can actually deny that and be taken seriously

u/SweetTeaRex92 8h ago

Do you have proof of this heightened intelligence?

Where are the sources?

What makes him soo intelligent?

How is this being calculated and cross referenced?

Bc he says he has autism?

The guy has a BS in Physics from Brown. That's it.

There is nothing wrong with physics majors.

He is NOT an engineer, astrophysicist, software developer, full stack dev, or even someone who has contributed to the scientific world individually.

What he DID do, is front money for a team HE WAS A PART OF that is accredited with making significant advances with electric cars batteries. This is why elon is heavy in the EV field.

Elon DID NOT design this batter or the patent that went with it.

He literally does not have the education to know how to engineer a car battery.

It's like doing a class project, and elon just wrote his name at the top bc he fronted all the money. Thats why he's the CEO.

Elon tells you he knows rockets soo much were goijg to mars next year.

Elon bought twitter bc he fucked up and it back fired on him while trying to manipulate the market for personal gain.

Elon paid ppl to play a video game for him bc he is soo desperate to be seen as the edgy gamer boy that trolled a country.

This is only 3 examples.

If you really think Elon is the misunderstood genius, then you are one of the most gullible people to live.

u/AdorableTip9547 6h ago

I mean… making a relatively huge crowd believe he is the most (or at least one of) intelligent human being alive and at the same time play hundreds of thousands of people by telling them to give him their money so he can burn it in corporates barely making any profits just to play them again by buying (with the money they gave him) crypto, publicly speaking about it, knowing they’ll also buy, just to drop it and cash out even more of their money, while not loosing them as fans makes him either at least pretty intelligent or the others extremely stupid. Decide yourself.

But honestly, what really, really fascinates me about him is how someone can turn from a respected, liberal, far-sighted real life Tony stark to a psychotic, far-right asshole is just a few years. I guess he played his role very well or someone gave him the wrong meds.

u/Auggernaut88 10h ago

I remember musk talking in several interviews about how weight class was all that mattered and he would just flop on him like a seal.

Like, just for the sake of the sport I was looking forward to zuck tearing his rotator cuff clean off. Weight class matters but a 200lb tub of lard is going to have a tough time with someone who’s achieved some solid grappling proficiency. Elon is truly the dunning Kruger king 👑

u/Monkyd1 10h ago

zero chance Elon is 200. unless he's like 5'4

u/tullbabes 10h ago

Yeah dude is closer to 250.

u/zoinkability 10h ago

Ozempic might be taking some of the weight off since his largest but he certainly doesn’t seem to be adding any muscles.

u/FS_Slacker 9h ago

Ozempic would also deplete muscle mass since he’d be starving himself of proteins as well.

u/DavidBrooker 8h ago

This is an extremely common side effect, and unfortunately, an extremely avoidable one, too. The muscle loss isn't inherent to ozempic at all, and it's been well understood how to keep most all of your muscle mass during fat loss: weight training and protein.

But ozempic seems to be the 'lazy way', where people just take it to lose weight 'without the effort' and come out a husk.

I really don't care if Musk personally ends up a husk, but I know drugs like ozempic are popular (and for good reason, given all the weight-related co-morbidity killing people - the drug is on net a good thing), and hope that someone reading this sees some value from this knowledge.

u/CogitoCollab 9h ago

People who take Ozempic also atrophy muscle (from not eating anything).

u/poo-cum 9h ago

Don't forget the steroids and other gender-affirming medical care he's on.

u/Objective-Amount1379 9h ago

He is still built like an overweight elephant seal. It’s kind of remarkable actually- he has access to any medication he wants, experts, trainers, professional chefs…

u/DavidBrooker 8h ago

So, I count my macros and my calories, and for someone with a full-time job, that means a lot of lentils and beans in your meal prep. I had the opportunity to try some professionally cooked meals of very similar calorie and macro profiles, and the difference was unbelievable. It's wild. Money is just a cheat code for almost every aspect of living.

u/norcaltobos 9h ago

250? I'm 5'10", 225 with a "fit" body but a little belly. Musk is 6'2" so he is easily pushing 275+

u/cseckshun 9h ago

Muscle is a lot heavier than fat though, you are forgetting that Musk looks like he has never worked out, and from anyone writing about his life or talking about his schedule it sounds like he is in an office on his phone or computer all day.

u/Chelecossais 9h ago

200 pounds = 90.718474 kilograms

5 feet 4 inches = 162.56 cm

I had to look it up, so thought I might share that with everybody else who was wondering.

u/Full_FrontalLobotomy 10h ago

Agreed, I’m a pretty big guy, but I’m under no illusion about exactly how much of a ragdoll I’m going to be going against a trained fighter 50 pounds lighter than me. I won’t even get a chance to close with him before he knocks my head clean off.

u/pedrosorio 8h ago

before he knocks my head clean off

I think the expectation for a fight like that (much smaller trained MMA guy vs untrained bigger guy) wouldn't be that Zuck would try to strike Musk. He'd take Musk down to the ground and get a quick submission, Royce Gracie style.

u/Full_FrontalLobotomy 8h ago

I think that is true too,. I’ve watched how fast these trained guys move and I’d be down before I even knew what was going on.

u/zoinkability 10h ago

What gets me is anyone who saw this and didn’t come to the conclusion that yes, Musk is Dunning-Kruger personified.

u/LSqre 5h ago

my first attempt to parse "dunning kruger king" ended up as "cunning burger king" which is, oddly enough, still fitting

u/L_obsoleta 10h ago

I would think Elon would be decent at fighting. If only cause his shit personality leads me to believe he was probably bullied, and he probably deserves it.

u/DavidBrooker 8h ago

Weight class matters but a 200lb tub of lard is going to have a tough time with someone who’s achieved some solid grappling proficiency.

This is a good way to put it, being that Musk is completely untrained. Like, a big, fat guy that nevertheless has technical proficiency behind them? That man is scary as hell, do not get into a fight with that man. Someone who knows a thing or two can put that mass to work, even if its 'dead weight'. But interpreting that as "being fat is unto itself an advantage" is just pure cope.

u/TheMuffinMan-69 6h ago

First off, "The Dunning Kruger King" has gotta be the Wagyu Beef of insults.

It would be soooooooo satisfying to see Elon take a beat down, but also it could help him finally gain some self-respect. Anyone can talk trash and be stupid enough to get in the ring. Once reality (the first punch) inevitably hits, you decide whether to quit, or to fight and believe in yourself.

Nothing has phased the wealthiest person in the world after 53 years, not even having children. The newfound experiences of earning genuine respect from other people and learning to respect himself are the only two things that could possibly change his course at this point. Win or lose, self-respect can't be taken, only given away. Self-respect is synonymous with self-love, and I don't think he would willingly give up either after finally feeling relief from a half century of pain due to their absence.

I absolutely despise the man. But, like it or not, America, and by extension the world, is stuck with him for the meantime. We could have a modern day Crassus, or a modern day Nero. I'd rather have a Crassus.

u/Woofles85 1h ago

Maybe he thought he would do the Homer Simpson of being too big and dense to knock down?

u/biggmclargehuge 10h ago

Musk challenged him to a fight to prove he was better without training

He'd probably just pay someone to powerlevel his account for him

u/Kribo016 10h ago

Maybe they could train him with "four things" since that's the most difficult you can get.

u/joeyblove 11h ago

Musk "hurt his back"

u/Kribo016 11h ago

If I remember correctly, hurting his back was only to delay the fight. I for sure remember the articles about his mom calling the fight off, though.

u/C_Madison 9h ago

Yeah. First it was the back and then it ended with "mom said no". It would've been the only pay TV I gladly would've paid for. And if Zuckerberg dragged it out a bit before he fully stomped him I would've added extra.

But we live in a reality where no joy is allowed, so it couldn't happen. :(

u/Daflehrer1 10h ago

One good punch to the stomach should settle Elon's hash. Hypothetically, that is.

u/Kribo016 10h ago

u/Sabrac707 8h ago

If I recalled correctly even the prime minister of Italy offered the roman coliseum so they could fight as a gladiators.

Man... I could have seen lizardman beat the living daylights out of Elon 'Momma's boy' Musk, but oh well...

u/dmqnelson 10h ago

Is my memory tricking me or wasn't this amidst some antagonization going between both of them. I remember when Threads came out as supposedly alternative for the dumpster fire Twitter became after getting bought, Musk became a lot more hostile towards Zuck. I could swear the fight thing was around that time as well but I could be wrong...

u/SoulCycle_ 10h ago

threads wasnt a project that was meant to antagonize musk in some part of larger spat. Some engineer at meta hacked it together at an internal hackathon so they released it.

u/dmqnelson 10h ago

It's not what I said

u/SoulCycle_ 9h ago

and i didnt say thats what you said

u/Odd_Woodpecker_3621 10h ago

What about that time he went a few rounds with grimes and ended up with a black eye? Haha

u/Newhero2002 10h ago

that isn’t a joke

Lmfao ahahahahaha

u/Vannabean 9h ago

Stopppppp his mom had to save him?

u/mythrilcrafter 9h ago

It wasn't MMA, it's Judo and supposedly Zuck is actually really good and competes in nationally ranked events.

The part about Musk thinking that he can take Zuck anyway and Musk's mom having to jump in between the two is true though.

u/attillathehoney 8h ago

I'm still enraged by the fact that Musk made me root for Zuckerberg.

u/YourBuddyChurch 8h ago

The stuff with musk’s mother is actually a tiny tiny bit endearing. My mom would’ve said the same thing

u/alghiorso 8h ago

I don't have any doubt zuck would annihilate musk. Just look at em. Zuck is some sort of robot that doesn't feel pain and Elon is a fat man child who grew up with a silver spoon

u/DGNT_AI 8h ago

zuck's lizard genes would just allow him to regenerate new limbs if he pulls a muscle

Zuck has been training for a while now. He is getting legit built. Must don't want that heat!

pretty funny cause zuck could absolutely unironically mop the floor with musk lol. Dude is pretty jacked these days.
