    Begrudging acceptance of the more palatable Billionaire is close to the microcosm of the political reality in the US (and the West).

    I don't like Bill Gates, but at least he is no Zuckerberg. I don't like Zuckerberg, but at least he is no Elon Musk.

    I don't like Biden, but at least he is no Trump. I don't like Trump, but at least he is no De Santis.

    Ad infinitum while the bar gets lower and lower.

      I feel like Zuckerberg would hand Musk his ass. Musk would be all showy and fail to be charismatic, and Zuck would open his face and the terrors of warp-space would come out.

          these disconnected freaks of industry would actually leave their homes or business to touch other human beings.

        I have years and years of BJJ experience and I can confidently say that if you have a year of BJJ, the moment you grab onto a layman all their technique turns to sand. Not that I care especially about the duo compared to any other celebrities, but if Elon ever loses his balance, Zuck turns into TzKal-Zuk. When the striker isn't even a striker and is just a guy, it takes proportionately less grappling prowess to close the distance and get the take down. Insofar that you could literally run up to the old man and give him a hug to get the win. If he doesn't know how to punch, cannot conceive of a knee strike, and doesn't know what an underhook is, you can go up around his triceps for the hug and it wouldn't matter because Elon would discover inside the octagon that takedown defense is an attribute you can have.

        A lot of UFC fights that are sold as a striker versus a grappler end up with the grappler winning. Khabib vs Gaethje comes to mind, Khabib vs Barbosa, Khabib vs Connor, Khabib vs opponents, Dagastani wrestlers vs opponents in general, Olivera vs opponents, Stipe vs Ngannou 1 (Ngannou won 2 when he learned how to grapple), Texeria vs Błachowicz, and the premise of UFC 1.

      He's a total freak, but I can respect that he takes martial arts seriously. Granted, like 90+% of the people who take martial arts seriously are freaks.

      Hey, at least the guy has a hobby, unlike my-hero.

    An alternative would've been to say "Yes" and just put a ton of cameras and an audience into the backyard as well as a dozen drones or so.
