But the population of the earth (which is roughly 233) is the topic of the post.
Why are you talking about the number of contests? It’s completely irrelevant. 33 rounds means the winner of the entire tournament has to win 33 times. The number of total matches means nothing here; the winner doesn’t compete in every single contest, just once per round

As long as we're making the design of the tournament arbitrary, why not just have one giant round and then he only has to win once?
Because the design of the tournament isn’t arbitrary, the tweet literally says “1 on 1.”
It’s not surprising at all that if there were a royal rumble between the entire world then at the end of it there would be one winner. It is surprising that if there were a bracketed tournament between the whole world, it would only be 33 rounds.
You’re just making dumber and dumber arguments

Not true. Think about this in reverse. That's saying there can never be more than 33 rounds in any bracketed tournament because you would run out of people.
I think people are getting confused by the special property of 2. For example, 613 is way over 8.5 billion. They doesn't mean you can have 13 round of 6 people and the whole population of the earth competes. Think what that would mean for baseball and football.
