For those of you that have seen the Val Kilmer/Marlon Brando movie The Island of Dr. Moreau, you may remember the part near the end where the question is asked "you are a god, and he is a god, and he is also a god, but which of you is god... number... one?" and it caused a collapse of what little cohesion the god-killing group had.

I predict something similar on Monday because I highly doubt two notoriously Main Character brained billionaires will, or even can, share the spotlight without feeling threatened by their counterpart.

Elon will call something "epic" and Trump will wince because even he knows saying epic is extremely out of date

Quite possibly, especially as part of a "you're low energy. SAD!" sort of sniping tactic. trump-drenched melon-musk

They had open contempt for each other and dunked each other on their rival social media accounts before, and neither of them are the kind that would forget that, let alone forgive it.

The seething will likely be easy to spot.

when Musk was all in on DeSantis before Trump, they did his campaign launch announcement on some new twitter stream thing and it was bad from what I remember, audio/technical issues, so the border-bottom is pretty low, I'd expect some Elon-brand product placement in between Trump's self-praise

I think trump-feed was sending his children/minions to try to build hype for some cryptotrash recently, so maybe he'll peddle Trumpcoin or something.

I am hoping for many thrown pies, and maybe a circus fire. sicko-wistful

I predict the most voracious fellating that can be watched without a prompt asking "Are you over 18?" Musk needs people to like him and he wants Trump's followers to become his reply guys. But he also has a super fragile ego, and Trump likes to mock people, so it could be a glorious mess.

I can already feel the ache of intense second hand embarrassment

The gravitational pull of their egos is so strong, it will create a black hole. The formation of the black hole causes massive tidal forces, leading to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis on a global scale.

The formation of the black hole will lead to a conversation about DEI

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

" The black hole was selected due to it's lack of colour! Pure DEI hiring and discrimination against white holes! frothingfash "

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago

White holes are like white culture. Not proven to exist

The bazingas promised us a singularity.

We're getting one... a cringe singularity. cringe

I feel like it can't be any worse than the Musk/Peterson interview but I'm prepared to be proven wrong

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

Up yours, woke Hexbears! We will see who outcringes who. up-yours-woke-moralists

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It will be the most cringe thing in existence.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

That might be the free space. knight-nod

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

trump is gonna audibly shart and they will dump out of the feed claiming nebulous technical issues upstream.

but the footage will exist and be leaked and claimed as fake.

that's when they turn on each other.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

They're both physically gross people that do Harkonnen-like things to prop themselves up and vaguely present themselves to the public while eating garbage all day while being actually afraid of exercise.

I think the digestive problems are the free space on the bingo card. kombucha-disgust

Remember when you tweeted out Covfefe and Hamberder?:

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

There's stiff competition between that and E-L-O-N announcing that "Blade Runner would drive the ZYBERTRUKKK" my-hero

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

Only cringe
