If you had to bet $1000, which of these two bets would you place?

[RowdyYates]

A. Elon will get us to Mars as promised..
B. Joe Biden will cure cancer as promised.

[FunkyMonkee]

Joey missed the boat a LOOOOOONG time ago!! There's nearly 400 known natural cures for cancer and some have been known about for at least 100 years!!
I'm SURE Joey's working REALLY HARD on that while sitting on the beach, every day!!
My money would be on Elon.

[RowdyYates]

He's been doing research while at the beach.

[FunkyMonkee]

He thinks sand cures cancer.

[exitseven]

I put my money behind Elon. He has already done so many amazing things. Biden has had nothing but government jobs during his whole worthless existence.

[RowdyYates]

We need term limits. 50 years and you’re done.

[exitseven]

hahahahha

[RowdyYates]

Well, hey, if it weren't for that Biden/Trump debate... Joe might have gotten another 4 years.

[exitseven]

Now we might get someone worse.

[madhatters4]

they promised to get to Mars in months. It's an absurd statement because the best scientists believe we are nearly a century from reaching Mars at the earliest. And let's be clear Elon Musk is not a scientist.

Curing cancer has not been promised by Biden. it's a goal set for his and future generations. So If i had $1000 bucks I'm better on curing cancer.

[RowdyYates]

Biden said if he's elected, there would be a cure for cancer.

[madhatters4]

so did Trump ("We will come up with the cures to many, many problems, to many, many diseases, including cancer"). any reasonable human knows that they were setting a goal and not a literal promise.

[RowdyYates]

Sure

[JimmyBgoode12]

There is no way Biden can cure cancer, and no one cure can cure all the different types of cancers.

I think they will have a cure for AIDS , before they have a cure cancer.

Elon musk is my bet.

[RowdyYates]

Me too.

[Likes2drive]

That’s an easy bet because Elon will definitely get to Mars before Biden can do anything, especially since there really is no cure for all cancer and if there was Biden certainly is not going to find it

[RowdyYates]

That would be a safe bet

[BCA6010]

A for sure. Getting to Mars isn't nearly as big of an obstacle as successfully colonizing it.

[RowdyYates]

I think that colonizing it is centuries away. But in the meantime, there might be some cool stuff there to help us on Earth. We could sure use some dilithium crystals to run our power plants.

[lightbulb27]

Elon lands on Mars in a Tesla cyber truck! I predict he is buried there...

Cancer... we'll have much better tools in the future, but not cured. not with the pollution we've added to environment.

[FreyaRed]

I think Elon's chances are higher because Joe's chances are equal zero.

[RowdyYates]

It makes you wonder why he said he could do it.

[DrPepper12]

Two questions: number one, what's the timeline for each task? Number two presuming that the task is not met by the end of their natural lives would that be the end of the bet? Could each man designate a successor?

[RowdyYates]

Elon gets four years and Biden gets 2 more months

[MisterWack]

The owner deleted my opinion: So, issue with this bet…

Trump claimed the Mars thing with Elon not Elon first and it was at a rally, number one. Now Elon is ONLY going to keep this promise if Trump wins, to be specific apparently by 2028 (2025-2028)
Number two, Joe Biden promised to launch Cancer Moonshot to cure cancer within the decade (2021-2031)
I want to make clear the first part of the bet falls apart if Trump loses the 2024 election which is likely to take place. The second part has seen great progress with the mRNA vaccination advancements allowing Cancer Vaccines to be pushed and the trial tests are moving forward so it is likely we won’t have cured ALL cancers though few cancers based on these advancements.
My Answer: My bet is on neither because the $1000 would be a waste, I’m pocketing the money lmao.

[jamesgoldman]

Musk getting to mars

Curing cancer isn't profitable to big pharma

[RowdyYates]

Very true. If it was, cancer would have been gone a long time ago.

[douride2]

Musk has a better chance of getting to Mars.

[RowdyYates]

I’m inclined to agree with you.

[DryGermanGuy]

The Biden administration ends in January 2025. Sooo... is this a specific research Biden initiated and funded long-term or what are the parameters here?

[RowdyYates]

Campaign promises.

[andreasderjuengere]

I'll better invest these 1000 ''Dollars'' in beers :D

[Jersey2]

A, Elon is driven and has a string of amazing accomplishments. Biden just says shit.

[RowdyYates]

He probably forgot he said it.

[Staximus]

Biden is not going to cure cancer

[RowdyYates]

But he promised!

[missindiana93]

Bet a.

[RowdyYates]

Smart people would agree with you.

[DaBiggestBird]

Elon Musk and mars

[RowdyYates]

Safe bet

[Agape93]

Elons.
