The big questions that the article failed to answer:
1) Which specific people would do the job better than Zuckerberg? Just anyone?
2) What exactly would they do differently?
3) What results would they deliver to shareholders above what Meta has achieved so far?
A lot of the issues with Meta are issues it would still have under a conventional Fortune 500 CEO. Before you talk about firing Mark, find a superior replacement first.

And it needs to be a kind of winner-takes-all success that cannot be replicated easily. Does the author have any idea how fucking hard this is? It's pretty much a once in a decade event: search, social networking, smartphones, AI. And most of these are ad-driven. So where do you go when you reach peak-ad? The idea that because a company has lots of money and engineers it should be easy to launch one product success after the other at this scale, is insane. It should be thought of as near impossible.
