  All that speculation seems kind of weird to me. Zuck is already president of facebook (pop. 2bn), why would he want to be president of America (pop. 300m)? As the article you linked to says, the Chan-Zuckerberg initiative is the sort of thing retired presidents do - he's not angling to become a world leader, he already is one.

    If you want the world to be a certain way, president of the USA does a lot for letting you make that happen. If you want america to be a certain way, that holds even more strongly. How 'murica moves forward will depend heavily on the political parties stances. Being able to move (I'm guessing) the democrats will have a massive effect on politics. Not being beholden to a share price also really helps.
