But that was then. If Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have their way there will be a battle in the octagonal ring between the world’s richest person and the world’s richest millennial .

They want to duke it out in Las Vegas for charity .
They would use MMA rules .

That is where it gets sticky. Zuck weighs in at 145 lbs when wet . That makes him a flyweight. The taller Musk weighs in at 230 lbs . By MMA rules that bout probably cannot be sanctioned in Las Vegas . Zuck has the age advantage. Both practice a form of martial arts .

I don't know what the advantage is for Musk to beat up on Zuck. If he wins he is a bully who smacked around someone almost 100 lbs lighter . If he loses ;well he is a loser .
