If he wasn't a billionaire and didn't behave like a rich kid buying himself the hottest toys I would use a different phrase.
Why can't Zuck actually compete with Snapchat, WhatsApp, or Oculus? His response to competition is to spend $30 billion buying these companies instead of actually contributing something new in the world himself.
Zuckerberg, Chris Dixon, and Andresssen Horowitz dismissed Oculus. Many thousands of regular people could see that Oculus was special but these Titans of Silicon Valley believed "bad intel" about Microsoft (of all companies) having something better. Better than what John $#U*%# Carmack had chosen to work on!
Such are the brave risk takers of Silicon Valley.
