Elon Musk Not Serious About Cage Fight: Zuckerberg

0

Elon Musk was the subject of Mark Zuckerberg’s criticism in which he claimed that while he made genuine attempts to set up a confrontation, the Tesla CEO has constantly abandoned the notion.

Elon and Mark are undoubtedly head and shoulders above everyone in terms of wealth but their disapproval of one another goes back to when one of Elon’s SpaceX rockets accidentally blew away one of Zuckerberg’s Internt.org satellites intended to provide internet in Africa. The pair has come a long way since that incident but has always been appreciating of the internet’s humour that led to all the Musk v Zuck memes and now it looks like the fight is about to happen.

Although Elon himself has confirmed the fight, the meta CEO is claiming that despite his best efforts to put everything in motion, the Tesla CEO has been constantly delaying it which led to believe that Elon Musk is not serious about the fight.

“I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on. I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity,” Zuckerberg said.

“Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead. If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, it’s time to move on.”

While the pair is taking public blows from each other, it is difficult to believe that the fight is actually happening. The trash talk between the pair is yet to mature into an actual fight and by the looks of things, it will break all kinds of viewership records.

KSI Reacts to Logan and Jake Paul’s Dispute Over Prime

0

The disagreement between Logan and Jake Paul unfolded after Prime was banned from the Nate Diaz fight against the younger Paul brother. This incident has captured the attention of fans worldwide, igniting discussions and speculation about the ongoing rivalry.

Logan Paul is known to promote his energy drink brand PRIME wherever it goes and looks like he planned to do the same during the Logan Paul v Nate Diaz fight when the authorities present at the venue stopped him from bringing PRIME into the event much less promoting it on stage. Which Logan claimed that he never stopped Jake Paul from promoting his stuff at Logan’s events.

KSI who is co-owner of PRIME with Logan Paul was understandably triggered by the incident and expressed his opinion.

“The fact that DAZN didn’t let Logan Paul enter the arena with a Prime bottle or his Prime chain or anything Prime, he just had to go as himself. Outrageous, outrageous,” he said. “Super weird behavior. Why does [Jake Paul] care so much? He’s so triggered by me.”

He added: “You’re insecure about Prime, and you’re insecure about the Prime card being promoted on your event because you want it to be all about you. Which is fine, it’s just weird behavior to try and act like you’re not bothered.”

With Logan and KSI having tons of events right around the corner, only time can tell if they will block any and all businesses that are connected with Jake Paul or DAZN. KSI and Logan are two of the biggest influencers on the internet and the incident has struck up conversations on several online communities.

Jake Paul explained that the contract he signed stopped him from letting Logan promote PRIME and as of now future events will dictate where this drama goes.

Nadeshot Signs Multi-Year Streaming Deal with Kick

0

NadeShot has been one of the most significant members of the esports community who helped shape gaming into what it is today. The former Twitch streamer moved away from full-time content creation to focus on his esports team 100 Thieves.

Nadeshot’s beginnings may be found in the early years of Twitch when he made a name for himself in the Call of Duty community. During the Black Ops 2 era, he and Scump both acquired substantial fame while streaming on the now-defunct MLG network. However, this Twitch veteran stated in a recent podcast that he had a “99.9%” chance of accepting a transition offer to Kick.

Kick has garnered popularity among streamers due to its permissive Terms of Service policy and its favourable stance towards gambling. Several prominent figures from the Twitch realm have already migrated to this platform.

NadeShot who has been a part-time streamer for quite some time now would consider becoming a full-time streamer in light of a very lucrative deal from Kick that may require him to gamble a lot more on stream.

With top personalities moving away from Twitch, it will only make sense for him to join Kick and the freedom in terms of content creation that he has longed for.

In a tribute brimming with emotion, Shroud wrote, “He always supported me, got me into gaming, and helped shape my love for games specifically FPS (first-person shooter). Rest in peace papa Shroud.”

The news reverberated throughout the gaming community, prompting an immediate outpouring of condolences. Amid this sea of support, ‘Rawkus’ stood out, his words echoing a shared sentiment. He conveyed, “I’m so sorry for your loss man, before my dad passed he was the reason I became so competitive and he was my biggest supporter.” Rawkus’s message, underscored by the strength born from adversity, served as a beacon of hope during this trying time.

Further amplifying the chorus of support was ‘Just9n’ (Justin Ort), a former professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player and a personal friend of Shroud’s father. Reflecting on shared memories, Just9n expressed gratitude for the moments spent with the late Mr. Tomtruck. He wrote, “I was a big fan of Mr. Tomtruck and I’m very grateful I got to spend time with him and enjoy his presence before this tragedy happened. [Of course] Mike I love you to pieces [brother] and I’m very sorry this happened to you. [Rest in peace papa Shroud].”

Among the condolences emerged ‘BigBroR0’, who intimately understood the pain of loss to cancer, having lost his own mother. He offered heartfelt empathy, saying, “Sorry for your loss. Cancer sucks man. Lost my mom to it.” In this profound moment of loss, he urged Shroud to embrace the support of loved ones, emphasizing the importance of finding solace in their company.
