Mark Zuckerberg Is Sure Acting Like Someone Who Might Run for President
- davesque 10y agoOne nice aspect of this is the thought of having a president that actually understands technology on a deeper level.
- tasty_freeze 10y agoOff topic: I can't read the article, or any wired.com article, because after about 5 or 10 seconds, the screen gets taken over by a plea to disable my ad blocker or to pay $50/year to get ad-free wired. That is fine, but I don't have any ad blocker of any kind. Javascript is enabled. The only thing is that I don't have java installed on my machine. It is hard to believe that their ad mechanism is relying on java.
- clusmore 10y agoIronically I have uBlock Origin installed and I don't get the plea.
- jasondrowley 10y agoCan confirm... I use uBlock Origin as well and I don't see the message either.

- Chris2048 10y agoI also have the same problem. After 5 or 10 second I remember that wired is a hyperbolic, hypocritical* hipster rag. * https://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/oct/19/wikileaks-julian-assange-wired-magazine https://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/oct/19/wikileaks-juli...
- eachro 10y agoAs much as I hate to admit it, he doesn't have the charisma to win.
- eliasbagley 10y agoI imagine he could develop it, though.
- pcurve 10y agoIf he hasn't developed it after being CEO of Facebook for 10 years, he never will. His Jarvis videos and his speeches are hard to watch. He has a Clinton problem. He can't connect with audience. But then you look Elon Musk.. who is pretty awkward on stage, but he can connect with people.
- hiharryhere 10y agoMusk is awkward but he doesn't seem to be trying to fight it so hard. That authenticity makes it easier to connect.
- randycupertino 10y agoThe ole, "Which candidate would I rather have a beer with?" problem. The one you'd rather have a beer with wins every damn time.
- namlem 10y agoNo one wanted to have a beer with Nixon.
- heliophobicdude 10y agoI see a huge problem here. How do you run for office and also not be tempted to alter people's feed to vote for you on your 1.7 Billion-user platform?
- dilemma 10y agoYou don't. Media moguls always use their power for their own benefit.
- randycupertino 10y agoI'd just be excited to have someone moderately rational, arguably not corrupt and possibly an atheist as president. I agree with eachro, though... he's sadly probably not likable enough to win.
- geezerjay 10y ago> I'd just be excited to have someone moderately rational, arguably not corrupt and possibly an atheist as president. Considering how Zuckerberg has already been caught ordering Facebook employees to censor away posts that were favourable to a particular persidential candidate, I'm sure that the "not corrupt" tag can be safely put away.
- franzen 10y ago>If Zuckerberg dies, gets fired, or leaves the company on his own, he’ll still lose control. TIL you can't control a company after you die. Thanks Wired
- sparky_z 10y agoIt's important to know whether or not his estate would retain control in the event of his death.
- 234dd57d2c8db 10y agoNo thank you. "They trust me — dumb fucks" - Zuckerberg Very untrustworthy and seedy individual.
