It's an idea that keeps getting floated around, and for Zuck's sake I hope it's not true. Just because one billionaire squeaked through doesn't mean it's open season, and it's certainly not an option for someone as uncharismatic as Mark Zuckerberg.
If he wants to start small, that's one thing. City councilman, then maybe on to state senator for a few terms, then congress and we can see what kind of record he builds. But if he jumps right to some kind of bold political run, it's going to be embarrassing.

There are much smarter and more likeable billionaires than Trump out there. > But if he jumps right to some kind of bold political run, it's going to be embarrassing. As Trump's finding out, embarrassing doesn't mean you don't get to be President.
- michaelchisari 10y agoTrump won in large part because he was entertaining. Zuckerberg is not entertaining.
- Gargoyle 10y agoI enjoy watching Zuck speak because he has interesting perspectives on things that interest me too. But I don't think he has the charisma for a general audience.
- fareesh 10y agoI'm constantly amazed at the number of people who have started to take an interest in things like White House press briefings, rallies, nuances of the positions of the talking heads on TV and their various infamous quotes and scandals. Everything has a reality TV angle to it, and a lot of his fans are hooked.
