What the absolute f is happening to Mark Zuckerberg?

[Anonymous]

She also forgot that Dems are the ones pushing for a higher minimum wage that help MAGA support their families. Oops.

I can’t believe Fox News et al convinced the MAGAs that the Dems are made of powerful elites while Trump’s administration and closest allies are all loaded. Fools.

It's such a dramatic rebrand and carries such a big risk of aging extremely poorly very fast. I get that Elon is like this - but Elon has always been like this. What is in it for zuck??? Is this some kind of midlife crisis?

I'm still waiting for the Musk/Zuckerberg MMA match.

Wow.
That’s big news actually.
Surprised someone said no to Zuckerberg. Let it be the beginning of a trend.

Here is a partial list of some of the billionaires who will be attending Trump’s inauguration. It’s not just Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk. Not a good look if you’re trying to portray yourself as a champion of the working class.

They care about a tech utopia and are in constant dick measuring contest. Also, Zuckerberg ‘s motivation for Facebook was stalking women and he stole it from the Winklevosses. In general, billionaires are sociopaths who got to where they are by walking all over people. Billionaires are nerds and have even more to prove.

And yet MAGA worship billionaires. As if virtual proximity to them via their association with Trump is going to rub off on them...

that is not correct and part of the Democrat failures.

MAGA just want to have jobs that let them support their families.

Democrats keep pushing overwhelming immigration to replace US workers with cheap foreign temporary labor.

If Democrats would stop the overwhelming immigration and forces on helping US workers they would never lose elections.

LOL. Trump, President Elon, and Zuck all do this for their benefit.

That doesn’t include Stephen Schwarzman, who was one of his biggest donors.

Here's a little thought exercise: if you won the lottery, what is the lowest jackpot amount you could win where you would quit your job? Ten million? A hundred million? A billion?

If you answered literally any number, congratulations, you're not the type of sociopath that becomes a billionaire. Every normal person has an amount of money that makes them say "ok that's plenty to do what I need to do in my life." Whether that's travelling the world in luxury, funding charity causes, or building the world's biggest ball of twine, it doesn't matter because you have shown there is some amount of money that will satisfy you.

Billionaires do not have a number that will satisfy them. If they did, they would have stopped before they reached the level of Elon Musk or Peter Thiel where it is literally impossible for them to spend it all in their lifetime even if they tried. Because there is no number that will satisfy them, they are compelled to keep growing their wealth by any means necessary. It is a legitimate addiction, and much like how a heroin addict will do absolutely anything to get their next fix, so will a billionaire to get their next billion, and they don't care how many lives they have to ruin to get it.

Zuckerberg didn't change, this is who he always was, a money junkie desperate to obtain more by any means necessary. Previously he believed that putting on a liberal persona was the best path to the biggest fix, so that's the way he acted, now he sees sucking up to Trump to be a more efficient means so that's what he is doing, but make no mistake - there was no shift in morals because he never had any to begin with.

I don't know if I agree with this. It works if you see your job as primarily a revenue generator. It doesn't work if your work satisfies a creative instinct that you need to meet to be happy.

Let's put it another way: How much would you need to pay Yo-Yo Ma to never touch the cello again? How about Evgeni Kissin, what would it take for him to never come around a piano again? How about Leonardo, what would he charge to stop painting?

I think people like Zuck are no longer doing it for the money. You may disagree with their motivation but they have something they want to do with the business, and that's what gives them pleasure.

Ah yes, I can understand how you are confused, seeing as there's so much similarity between someone like Yo-Yo Ma who has spent decades honing their craft to the absolute pinnacle, and whose works bring joy to millions, moving people to tears when hearing them, and someone like Zuck who got extremely lucky that something he bashed together in a semester took hold at exactly the right time and place, and whose works bring racist boomer memes, moving people to insurrection when seeing them. Surely these two scenarios are completely equal reasons to keep going despite the money.

I'm sure both Zuck and Yo-Yo have an equal respect for their own work and the effect it has on people as well. In fact, I think history will always remember Yo-Yo Ma's famous words upon completing his first solo: "these dumb f**ks actually like my cello playing. I don't know why, but they do."

He had a female Chief Operating Officer for 12 years. “Feminine Energy” isn’t the problem with Facebook.

Just a pokeweed blowing in the political wind. A loser who got rich selling useless products to rubes.

Looks like a billionaire mid life crisis.

I've noticed this too. I don't trust any of it
