But will Musk be able to defeat his schtoiyle?
:lol:

In all seriousness, if they locked the cage and sent the key up on a SpaceX rocket, I wouldn't lose sleep over which of them survived longest.

I'd much rather keep the key and send the cage up.

And sod a reputable sporting venue, just get them to duke it out in a badly lit alley with a variety of improvised weapons. Whoever loses, we win.

My money is firmly on Zuck, he's clearly preprogrammed to fight to a set degree at least and has some experience whereas I suspect the last fight Musk had was with his zipper and he still lost. I actually do think Zuck would fuck him up right before both of them shed their skins and go full-on Killer Instinct lizard mode at each other.

The thing about the submersible is: there is no known manned craft that can reach it safely, they are bolted in from the outside ffs, so an ROV would have to drag it to where it can be accessed by a human...all 9 tonnes of it, more than twice the rated ability of any ROV the Navy has at its disposal.

Sad to say - they are dead. After millions spent trying to find them, best to call it a day by tomorrow.

It was a dumb idea from being to end. The jokes on Twitter have been quite cutting mind....

The death of hundreds of migrants at sea last week with moderate news coverage v the blanket coverage of the search and rescue for a handful of billionaires has been lost on the internet.

Looks like they've possibly found some wreckage. The people in the sub probably had a few moments of terror before it imploded with enough force to cause atomize them.

The debris field confirms it then pretty much.

That's a little harsh don't you think.

- edit People far too often allow their adventurous sides to overwrite common sense when it comes to safety protocol is all I am saying. It's still a sad loss of life especially at the age of just 19.

How so? They paid some sketchy fuck an obscene amount of money to ride his terrifying cobbled-together death trap. It was inevitable. Yes, loss of life is always sad, but it's like if someone died doing 400mph on a public road. It's not surprising or unexpected.

You couldn't pay me $250K to go into that sub given what I know about it. Controlled by a video game controller, ffs

Reminds me of the Mitchell and Webb £5 to jump off a cliff sketch.

"Oh yeah, of course it's all fine."
