What’s your view? The original idea for Facebook was stolen, then he bought Instagram and Whatsup to stay afloat. Metaverse is/was an absolute disaster. And I’m not even talking about all the scandals from Cambridge Analytica era.
I truly believe people underestimate sheer luck and a good grasp of an said opportunity.
Mark is a mediocre innovator and a weak and ruthless leader. He has had the chance to claim ownership of Harvard Connection before Fb and purchase trendy platforms being a billionaire.
I sense more luck, opportunity, a huge team of advisors, and less skill, talent or chrisma.
I find the amorality of the billionaire class strange. He could be as good as somebody running a public enterprise, a research lab, a hospital. A state energy utility.
Instead he's running a giant meme tank feeding racist shit to win clicks and running fake AI ads boosting scam investments.
He's good at that. But is he actually any good at building things which enrich society without making him money?
From his perspective, though, he's just responding to how society chooses to allocate capital. It's not his fault that society apparently values crappy websites more than hospitals, and if he didn't do it, someone else would have.
He’s a sociopath. Why ignore that obvious fact? He buys a Hawaiian island and builds a secret bunker there for when the wasted mouths are eradicated. These robber billionaires aren’t normal people.

Name one human for whom this answer would be true - just one please? (not defending Zuck, he is probably one of the most evil people in the history of the entire civilization)
your local hospital administrator is building what exactly? she/he works for free? if you are in America you picked another evil empire, US health system - try and pick something else………

Meta is profitable and he can afford to lose bets and can pay off the fines if it means that Meta gets an extra $10B for the next quarter.
