According to Bloomberg and a few other sources, Mark Zuckerberg wrote a letter to Xi Jinping and asked him to name his child. Like, what has to be in one's head to even consider such a thing...? Can you imagine asking Trump or Joe Biden to name your child?
Well, Zuck did exactly that. You really can't make it up.

- slowmotiony 3y agoI must correct myself, apparently he didn't write him a letter but rather actually asked him in person with other people present in the room.

- phyrex 3y agoMuch appreciated!
- enterprise_cog 3y agoI have an utter dislike of Zuck, but there is no evidence this happened. Unnamed source tells page six, the Bloomberg reports on the page six article.
- flycaliguy 3y agoNever heard that one… His wife has Chinese heritage though so I can see a more culturally rooted desire to have the region’s leader name your child.
