The number of users of Meta products is one thing, Zuckerberg’s personal fame is another.
Conflating the two would imply that, for example, Phil Knight is one of the best known people in the world because of the ubiquity of his company, Nike. That’s obviously not the case.
Based on this email, Zuckerberg seems to have an exaggerated sense of just how well-known he personally is.
- jprete 2y agoThe press treat Zuckerberg as the public face of Facebook, while no-one does that with Phil Knight. So they are not similar situations.
- AlchemistCamp 2y agoAn entire Sorkin movie was about Zuck and I've seen him on the front page of the BBC, NHK, as well as in major Chinese and Indian media many, many times. I've seen Messi a few times and I'm not sure if I've ever seen Lebron on them. Zuck's name recognition isn't yet at the Bill Gates or Taylor Swift level, but he's already beyond what even top athletes of the current generation can hope for.
