This is a prettyyyyyy unflattering comparison
- aaron-lebo 9y agoIt's also pretty denigrating of Hughes. Hughes set aviation records, made major Hollywood films (as an outsider), designed really impressive planes and ran a diverse and massive empire before he was 45. Howard Hughes became that shell they are referring to because he broke most of the bones in his body in a plane crash, barely survived, got addicted to painkillers, and had an undiagnosed mental disorder. Zuckerberg just has a bad case of affluenza, always has.
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoZuckerberg created one of the largest multinational corporations from scratch, has data on billions of people, and is one of the richest people on the planet. Implying that he hasn't done much in his lifetime is pretty disingenuous. Sure, he was lucky, but you can't be a bumbling idiot and gain that kind of power.
