Punching below their weight

Punching below their weight

Elon Musk threatened to drive over to Mark Zuckerberg’s house on Monday to offer him out there and then. In a sign that End Time is truly upon us, two of the world’s richest are acting like terrified schoolboys bitching to their mates. This ancient grudge that’s been boiling since 2016, when a SpaceX rocket carrying Facebook satellites blew up, broke to new mutiny after Elon Musk challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a cage match in June. Zuckerberg said yes and promptly launched Twitter-lookalike Threads. Musk claimed to be booking the colosseum, Zuckerberg claimed he wasn’t serious, then Musk jumped in his Tesla only to find his quarry was “out of town”. “Mark is travelling right now and isn’t in Palo Alto. Also, Mark takes this sport seriously and isn’t going to fight someone who randomly shows up at his house,” a spokesperson said. Seriously. After exploiting the masses, at least Andrew Carnegie John D Rockefeller built libraries and universities.
