      They said that about Rod Blagojevich, and the desperate need for attention is what pushed the truly irrational decision to do an interview.

      Still, he might get cold feet if he expects a hostile audience.

        Rod Blagojevich

        Why I’m not surprised that the current president pardoned someone that tried to sell a seat to the us senate

          Well yeah, he was a contestant on the president’s reality game show.

          I would have loved to see that fight happen. Both are human garbage, but Zuckerberg is apparently a high level BJJ competitor. I think it would have been pretty one-sided.

        Well, that’s true, but the fact that he said, “I’ll only do it if they air it unedited!” makes me think he thought they would say, “no,” and he’d be able to decline while saving face. My gut tells me he’ll make up another excuse now. I’d love to be wrong, though!

          I’d expect either escalating levels of demanding ways to absolutely guarantee it couldn’t be edited in hopes of unreasonable.

          Ultimately it could be like the Zuckerberg fight, where Musk just ghosted the conversation when he couldn’t figure a way to nope out of it gracefully.
