Zuckerberg isn't dynamic enough or even enough of a character (think Trump) to rally up enough people to win an election.
He would get a great deal of votes for sure.
But among other things, lack of the wow factor, and well this was one of Hillary's drawbacks. Ditto for Mitt Romney.
The main thing he has going for him is name recognition (a big factor for sure and honestly the only reason anyone would take him seriously as a candidate).
And despite what anyone thinks of Trump he did have a great deal of life experiences with a wide range of people (of all types) in multiple businesses vs. Zuckerberg who essentially went from dropping out of college to Facebook. As such I am not sure of his innate decision making ability given that most of the things he has accomplished have been done with handholding of the people around him.
- rabbyte 10y agoGood points but it's worth considering what the world will look like in several years. The appeal of a predictably dry personality that centers around data-driven approaches to policy might be a welcome departure. A generation of youth, foreign to life before FB, would also have a deeper connection despite any complaints. In a sense, Zuckerberg already governed their lives, it's familiar and if a Trump administration brings hardships it will even feel nostalgic from a more innocent era. To be clear, I oppose all Kings, just speaking to the circumstance.
