When I saw the first news of this broke a week ago, I thought it was all a big joke, but this seems to be becoming more realistic.

Hope this qualifies for "Technology" since it's two very influential people in the technology industry about to possibly abandon technology and get medieval.

This has absolutely nothing to do with technology.

Tangentially, at best. Mostly, it's just about a cat fight. hssssss

Regardless of what anyone thinks of them, they are two of the most notorious and influential people in the technology industry.

If this didn't involve these two people, then you'd be completely right.

A post about Bill Gates eating at McDonalds wouldn't belong here, would it?

This post doesn't belong here either.

Why don't they get down to brass tax compare their sizes. They don't even need to share. We don't care 😂

Brass tax! Don't give them another kind to avoid!

I hate this timeline. Why is this a thing?

What the fuck?

Now literal billionaires are cashing in on the "lets fight because people hate both of us so much they'll pay to see us get beat up" craze?

Am I missing something? This has to fake.

I thought it was fake when this news first broke over a week ago, but it's been getting picked up by more and more news sources and the story is developing. It's becoming more real by the day. Bizarre, I know.

I hear concussions can have a pretty severe effect on your personality. Maybe this is what's best for mankind.

One can only hope they both get massive ones.
