I disagree. The joke is meh without the names. If they did the same thing but with 2 made up people or cartoon characters it would fall flat. This format is disingenuous and doesn’t hold up without making it seem like celebrities said it.
I don’t really understand why it needs to be in Xitter format aside from creating initial confusion. Using a picture+speechbubble format with Gates and Torvalds has 99% of the same energy, minus the misdirection. It’s not like Torvalds has used Xitter in the last decade.
