If you know Zuckerbergs history it's pretty apparent he was never a white knight of any description, he's talented but there is a lot of right place/right time

If you know Zuckerbergs history it's pretty apparent he was never a white knight of any description, he's talented but there is a lot of right place/right time as well.
Still that doesn't feed the narrative beast so we conveniently forget that.
You see the same with other tech CEO's all the time, I rather like Larry Ellison for that reason, he rarely pretends to be anything he isn't.
- thewhitetulip 10y agoI remember Zuck's chat screenshots from many years ago where he called his collegemats as "dumb fucks" because they "trust me"
- Lordarminius 10y agoThe screenshots are still floating around. I saw them on Quora a couple of days ago
- thewhitetulip 10y agoYep, saw it on Quora too.
- hhw 10y agoAside from his face? He's had way too much work done on it. Also not sure how much credit Ellison deserves for being unrepentantly unethical. I guess that's slightly better than being duplicitous about it, but still far from being worthy of admiration.
