It’s kinda sad (maybe amusing is the right word) cause he was somewhat repairing his reputation when he was in the news and on social media getting fit, doing professional fighting, and responding to Musk’s harassment with clever and appropriate quips. 

Then he decided “naaaah being good is too much effort, back to evil it is!” and now I guess he’s goose stepping with Musk. 😕 

Like damn, Mark, you nearly had an opportunity to fix your horrible PR by punching out a nazi oligarch in a cage match and you decided to suck their dick instead.

Hehe agree, I think he had earned some goodwill in the rivalry with Musk (although the two were never really enemies), but that's definitely gone.

They might be enemies, but they are happy to put their differences aside to accumulate even more wealth and power while abusing the people of the world.

This right here, rich people hate each other too, and would gladly rip each other apart if they didn't occasionally need to combine forces to push the lower classes further down.

True, although they do have a somewhat strong class solidarity among themselves, plus it's easier to get an hundred people to agree on something compared to the billions of us.
