It is therefore on August 26 that will take place, in a cage (yes, a cage), the fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
If neither of them gets the hang of it by then with a start if not of conscience, at least of self-esteem…
If this fight does happen, it will be – hands down – the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in my life.
The bottom of the cane
And God knows I’ve seen some, ridiculous things in my 62 years on Earth…
The Dwarves’ Palace, on Rachel Street, where people paid to see “small people” in their natural habitat… (“Hon, Maurice, did you see the little chairs? And the p’ little table? And the little sofa?»)…
A cultural program from Radio-Canada hosted by a puppet…
A yogi buried under a ton of garnottes in front of a dumbfounded Réal Giguère on channel 10…
Stag parties with guys tied crosswise and covered in mustard in truck boxes…
Grand Antonio pulling a bus with a harness on Rosemont Boulevard…
Striptease ads featuring Baby Papillon (300 pounds) and Pitou La Botte (4 feet)…
Stuntman Evel Knievel trying to cross a canyon using a modified motorcycle that looks like a rocket…
And Valérie Plante who affirms that “Montreal is more beautiful and stronger than ever”…
But two gonzilliardaires fighting in a cage to prove who has the biggest pocket?
Never seen.
Here we reach the end of the canisse.
One would seek a more grotesque and caricatural metaphor for masculinity than one would find.
And all of this will be broadcast live, of course.
A great moment in the history of mankind.
The clash of the titans
A few years ago, a new figure appeared in the media – that of the guru businessman.
Not the entrepreneur in the three-piece suit with the slicked-back hair talking regarding the economy and the free market and growth like Gordon Gekko in Wall Street, non.
But the entrepreneur philosophizes. In jeans, t-shirts and sneakers.
Which presents its new products as if they were religious relics, during great masses broadcast on the web.
This businessman is not a business captain. He’s a cult leader. A quasi-divine figure who regularly descends from his mountain to enlighten humans with his oracles.
And turn water into wine and bread into a rocket.
It started with Steve Jobs, who didn’t wash and only ate fruit. And it culminates now with Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who want to establish colonies on Mars, create a virtual universe alongside the physical universe, and make humans immortal.
The fight on August 26 will be the clash of the titans, the fight of the gods.
Jupiter versus Zeus.
I look at this, and I miss the 80s when entrepreneurs, who wore three-color suspenders and striped shirts, just – quite simply – talked regarding numbers.
