Silicon Valley was once led by the likes of David Packard, Gordon Moore and Steve Jobs. Now it’s, ‘send in the clowns.’

Zuckerberg heads the world’s biggest social media platform, which has consistently proven itself incapable of protecting users’ privacy, shielding children from predatory advertising and guarding against dissemination of false political propaganda.

One would think that with the 2024 elections looming, these two tech leaders would want to demonstrate that they recognize the importance their companies play in the survival of democracy — and that they are thoughtful, serious leaders poised to address these societal challenges.Apparently, this silliness began because Zuckerberg’s company is working on a service that would rival Twitter. Musk’s tweeted comment, “I’m up for a cage match if he is.

Whether the fight actually takes place almost doesn’t matter. The mere prospect of it serves to distract from the billions Musk has lost on his Twitter purchase, and from Zuckerberg’s threatsfrom sharing news articles on his platforms if profit-sharing regulations are passed in Canada and California.

While Zuckerberg and Musk plan to meet behind the playground for fisticuffs, as onlookers circle and gleefully shout “fight, fight,” the school is burning. And these two tech leaders don’t seem to care.
