Because as a society we've forgotten how to throw bricks at bad people

Worse, we're throwing piles of money at them.

"but they're entertaining!"

This right here. Germans thought Hitler was "entertaining", too, for a while.

That was the whole premise behind r/the_donald back on Reddit, and it started as irony and then the numbskulls who don't get or don't care about "irony" and "satire" showed up and meme'd Trump to four nightmarish years as President.

I know he's not Hitler or anything, but the book of Hitler's speeches on his nightstand that his ex-wife told us about tells us he definitely admired Hitler, absolutely disgusting.

He could very well become as bad as Hitler, I think he’s the same kind of psychopath. The parallels are uncanny, AH and Trump are both ridiculous figures that’s why they are underestimated until it’s too late. Also the speech on January 6th and the accompanying video are fully, unapologetically β€œNazi” to a degree Goebbels would have been proud (the β€œwe’ve been so nice to them”) speech.

$10M??

I'd take $10. Seriously. I mean I guess unless the meal was fully paid for and pretty fancy. But with either of these two donuts that feels like hardly a given.

$10 is a sure bet.

I mean, I'd put odds on either of them leaving you with the check for dinner, because you received the "honor" of dining with them.

Honestly the amount could be $10 and I'd take it. I don't get why anyone would want to share the same air as either of these people

You could take the time to hit them in the face.

But I'd still rather take no money at all.

Sadly, Andrew Tate has been punched in the face many times and it's done nothing to change him.

Perhaps he has actual brain damage and didn't go to the doctor because that's not alpha :(

The real alpha thing is going to the doctor and taking care of your health so you can outlive all the loser betas.

Guaranteed Tate has a team of nutritionists and trainers to keep him fit. Almost nobody is that bulky and toned without help.

Eh, he probably just takes steroids and watches some gym bro on Instagram for workout ideas, people that proud and stupid rarely ask others for advice/help.

I'd pay $1000 to not have to sit with those two assholes for dinner.

Honestly, I'd take a kick in the nuts over the other two options...

Honestly you could take my money so I don't have to go. All of it.

You wouldn't be able to pay me to be seen with Tate

I don't like Musk much at all but I'd prob pay $100 to eat dinner with him and try to figure out wtf the rationale for some of his moves has been.

The psychopaths who think they can get Musk/JayZ/etc to be their sugar daddy and find their wildest dreams or suddenly teach them how to be rich fucks...yeah they kind of scare me

The funniest shit is these sad dudes are probably clamoring to say they'd take dinner with Musk in hopes they'd somehow magically unlock the secret to being rich, totally unaware of the fact that the "secret" is to start with enough wealth to get that first leg-up, and no amount of lobster dinner with Musk will change the fact that they will never have his money.

Not sure why anyone would want dinner with Tate unless they wanted to get into human trafficking.

Take the $10 million, ya dinguses.

"But having a photo of me sucking papa musk's dick while scamdrew tate rams my ass will be priceless! Besides, I'll mint a NFT and it'll totally sell for more than that!"

Considering the folks you can find on xitter, it shouldn't be too hard to find someone thinking exactly that.

Step 1: have $1Bn ready

Step 2: collect interest rates

Elon goes more like...

Step 1: Have $1b

Step 2: Lose $990m

Imagine being literally the richest man on the world and people still act like you're bad at finances.

"But he inherited the wealth.."

As did many other billionaires that didn't make it to the front of that list

Imagine thinking billionaires don't pay people to do their finances.

Elon doesn't lose money because of a lack of handled finances, but because he says and does absurd shit.

Other billionaires have access to the same financial advisers. Unless all billionaires are extremely stupid and Elon just happens to be the least stupid one of them then this logic simply just doesn't add up.

The initial question is so stupid that I'm wondering if it's a troll. 99.9% of even hardcore fans of both would obviously take the ten million fucking dollars.

I screen capped this myself (I know – rare) and I can assure you, the account is not a troll. Or they've transcended to some other plane of existence and keep trolling from there.

And the top comments were, apart from a few people mocking them, mostly arguing between options A and B. Since comments of users with Twitter Blue show up first, that even makes sense. Many were sure you'd have those 10 million in a year or two after meeting those geniuses.

Don't ask me why or how. I am pondering daily if the internet maybe failed and if we should just shut it all down.

Many were sure you'd have those 10 million in a year or two after meeting those geniuses.

That's some next-level delusion, but sadly I can believe it. Although I'm certain nearly all of them would actually take the money if it were a real situation, but they either don't realise it, or they're "virtue signaling" to their fellow online douche fans.

Also, 10 million in a year or two? Take it now, lol. Do they really think there are parallel timelines where the meet 'n' greet option is the one where'd they'd end up netting significantly more in the long run?

Also

I screen capped this myself

For a split second I read this as "I crapped myself". Lol.

There's a good chance it's a joke, like one of those "Would I slap my mother for $10million? I would slap my mother, but I wouldn't take the $10million because the experience I would gain would be worth infinitely more than that" posts.

I mean, realistically my moyher would kill me on the spot if I didn't take the 10 million just for slapping her.

Dinner with musk so I cqnshove my fork in his eyesocket

Hey now we'll have no talk like that here on Corporate Ad Platform. We only allow violence that's endorsed by the state.

Honestly it's so nice to be able to just laugh at this and not worry about a corporate sponsor banning you over it.

Why is he making a vagina with his fingers?

Thanks, good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. As for your answer, I have no idea. But my guess would be some hidden longing to get screwed himself, makes me wonder how often he dropped the soap in that Romanian jail..

I'd really like to have dinner with them! Then after a bottle of wine or two, maybe I'd get up and slowly walk behind their chair. My hands playfully walking up their arm, and I'd kiss the back of their head and whisper "I've been looking forward to this".

Then I would drop them into their chairs with trucker ties and duct tape, having paid off the whole restaurant with the 10 million I stole from the asshole who put me up to this question.

Then it would be a slow, methodical interrogation, culminating in dentistry tools in a handgun to ask them why the hell they say the stupid shit they say and if they really even believe it. I'd like to be a time traveler that could do this to all kinds of sick and or evil fucks throughout time.

In case anyone thinks I'm being serious, I'm just joking. But I do genuinely wonder what they would say under such circumstances

"Twice the pride double the fall." - OP as he wines, dines, and brutally torture two rich shitbags.

Tate just looks like an absolute twat in that outfit. Like his mom dressed him for school picture day in last year's clothes that don't fit anymore.

Cat: Hey, don't knock an opportunity for a dinner with a shitstain billionaire. You'll never have a better chance to kill them.

Oh what I'd give for the opportunity to just lay right into Elon Musk's ego. You could really tell him off and based on his behavior on Twitter, he's a baby who can't take criticism, so it'd really hurt.

That being said, I'm taking the 10M.

Something tells me both these assholes wear shoes with no socks.

or or?

And which thing is applying to which person? I need the joke explained :(

I would like to have my 10 million, now! 🫱

I think the real scenario is that, after going to dinner with either of them, you'll get a 10m dollar bill in the mail.

Hmmm, will Musk let me in on his next pump and dump scheme?

He sure will! As soon as he sees that it's about to sink, he'll sell his spot to you for a special price

Right? If I can get in on the grift that might be worth more than 10 million

What is this? A battle about how stupid a question / choice can get? Sounds like 5th grade schoolyard fun. Anyway, I take the chainsaw…

If you play your cards well, you'll convince them to pay invest $1 billion in your crappy awesome crypto NFT startup.

Get 10 million, pay 100, I don't care. I won't get near those two idiots. You could even pay me 20 million and I'd still take the money.

Well let me flip a fucking coin, will you?

I mean that's not fair Elon musk isn't a misogynist human trafficker sex offender.

It would actually be interesting to sit down with Elon and pick his brain for a minute regardless of his eccentricities and stupidities.

On the other hand I would rather pay somebody 10 million than to ever say a single word to that bald doofus.
