I like that the most sober thing a CEO has said in a long time is getting the “who cares what CEOs think?” treatment.

  I'd say that about several other CEOs too if their fanboys wouldn't jump down my throat about it. Zuckerberg is just universally unpopular enough that you can get away with it

    What is a popular CEO? They're generally untrustworthy people.

      Gabe Newell (president, not CEO) comes to mind

        I really worry about what happens to Valve as a company after he steps down.

          Hopefully they'd stop introducing gambling to children.

      Steve Jobs was. Elon Musk is. Outside of tech Warren Buffett seems popular.

        I don't know what the baseline is for CEO popularity (I guess most people don't know that many CEOs by name?) but I'd be hard-pressed to call a 37/50 favorable/unfavorable ratio popular: https://www.natesilver.net/p/elon-musk-polls-popularity-nate-silver-bulletin https://www.natesilver.net/p/elon-musk-polls-popularity-nate...

          Maybe he's no longer popular, but he had a cameo in Iron Man 2 and hosted SNL. That speaks to popularity. Also, is favorable/unfavorable a good measure of popularity?
