I don't think Zuck's motives were ever pure or noble. We must remember that Facebook (original name: Mashbook) was originally created to rate the fuckability of the females residing in Harvard's co-ed dorms. Basically, it was Hot Or Not for a very targeted population. The concept of a social graph was stolen lock, stock, and barrel from the Winklevoss twins. Zuck's talent is unabashed brashness and chutzpah. He thinks the rules simply don't apply to him. He is not an original thinker, but rather very intellectually derivative. The fact that he grew up wealthy opened many doors for him, even despite the Winklevoss twins' sentiment that he comes from new money and is thus irremediably beneath them, and even worse in their WASPy blueblood minds, Jewish new money. ('How dare a Jew steal our idea!') Shady actors all around, with not an admirable figure amongst them.
