Reminds of that one scene in The Social Network.

“It’s because you’re an asshole”

I really want to live in a world where Andrew Garfield shows up and just starts slapping the shit out of the real Mark, says nothing and then just walks away.

I like standing next to you, Sean. It makes me look so tough.

I have similar visions.

Also, it's not like the guy has some great master plan for the company. He assembled a team to make Facebook a great social media platform and bought another one that was good as Facebook started to decline. Facebook is now a shell of its former self, and it's unclear what Meta's future is. His plan for the future of the company was virtual reality and it was a hilarious failure. He's now trying to chase trends and facebook wants to make AI bots to "boost engagement on their platforms."

He's in charge because he owns the company, and any other CEO would have been fired by now. Who working here actually respects his plan for the future? Meta is a dying brand, and the people who work under him have to be aware of it, too. Of course they don't respect him.

The stock price is at an all time high and the company has a market cap of 1.7 trillion dollars. No other CEO would have been fired by now. You obviously know shite about business and bringing value to shareholders. (Which is the CEOs job)

u/mrdilldozer Jan 31 '25

The stock price had been slumping for a long time before it went up. His ass would have been fired in 2022 if he didn't own the company. He wasted 10s of billions of dollars and had to lay off thousands of employees because of his pet project.
Their rise is also recent and in line with the industry's trend.

u/dnaland123 Jan 31 '25

A large chunk of people on reddit across the political spectrum (but more on the left) have delusions of grandeur that their understanding of the world is correct. Facts unfortunately don’t stop feelings from getting in the way. Don’t get hung up on the downvotes lol.

-33

u/chickenlittle2014 Jan 31 '25

lol dude meta is a 1.7 trillion dollar company, he is the 4th richest man in the world, but ohh you internet troll clearly know more than he does

42

u/mrdilldozer Jan 31 '25

He's just some guy who made a social media network that took off and made him rich, not some genius programmer. He isn't an expert on things like AI or virtual reality. You don't have to be smart or even run a good business (lol Tesla) to be rich. You just have to convince people to invest in your company.

https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/meta-workers-reportedly-lost-faith-mark-zuckerberg-18001223.php

This is from 2023 before he started to get into politics. The experts he hires aren't exactly impressed by his decisions.

u/Specialist-Rope-9760 Jan 31 '25

He’s the owner of the company. His job isn’t to be an expert at any of this stuff. It’s to hire people that are.

7

u/mrdilldozer Jan 31 '25

Yeah that's probably why there are employees there that don't respect him and leak shit to mock him. The VR fiasco was his plan because he loves VR. Not because his top guys told him it was a good idea. VR is super niche and isn't a big market, anyone he hired to work on it would know that.

Like I said, if he didn't own the company he would have been fired as CEO for something that dumb.

u/chickenlittle2014 Jan 31 '25

lol spoken like a true person who has never accomplished anything in their life. Remember kids it’s not that hard to become a billionaire. All you have to do is convince people to invest in ur company, in fact it’s so easy like hundreds of people out of billions have done it

u/mrdilldozer Jan 31 '25

Reading about the dotcom bubble would blow your fucking mind buddy.

u/chickenlittle2014 Jan 31 '25

Reading. I lived through it lol

u/eatsoupgetrich Jan 31 '25

They’re talking about the dot com bubble in the 90’s, not when the CEO of MegaUpload lost the top spot in the COD:MW3 global FFA leaderboards because they were arrested.

21

u/LucubrateIsh Jan 31 '25

And you somehow managed to observe and learn nothing during it

12

u/laodaron Jan 31 '25

It's not that hard to become a billionaire. Have literally zero morality and ethics. Get lucky. That's literally all it takes. Be willing to be a giant piece of shit and then sit around until you get lucky.

Oh, it helps if you started out lucky with inheritance.

u/supersloo Jan 31 '25

Yeah, "unlikely" does not mean "difficult" lol

u/Standard-Criticism10 Jan 31 '25

Yea but Facebook and Meta suck ass. I just canceled everything.

u/amazing_raindrop Jan 31 '25

That’s an estimate, it could really turn over night.

u/moos14 Jan 31 '25

Market Cap ist not an estimate

4

u/amazing_raindrop Jan 31 '25

Isn’t the market cap the value of all shares combined which in turn it’s about the perceived value of the company which gets determined by supply and demand?

u/Negative-Change-4640 Jan 30 '25

That soundtrack was just… damn. Real good.

u/CryinHeronMMerica Jan 31 '25

I like the matching line from the end. It honestly describes him better: "You're not an asshole, Mark, you just try really hard to be one".

Functionally it's the same, but it's a lot harder to live a lie the way he does.

u/PsAkira Jan 31 '25

Zuck hated that movie and book so much. 😆

u/takemy_oxfordcomma Jan 31 '25

Yep, it’s so spot on that scene

Don’t mind me.

Ya’ll just do your thing.

u/MojoHighway Jan 30 '25

I 100% believe he said this and since there is no more fact checking on his dumpster fire platforms, I'll spread the word because I'm still regrettably on frigging Instagram.

u/spaten78 Jan 30 '25

Yeah, IG is the one that’s tough to let go of. The rest are easy.

2

u/RIF_rr3dd1tt Jan 30 '25

Why is that? I don't have Instagram. Still have FB but don't ever post anything or reply, mainly just look at stuff on marketplace from time to time. I use reddit a lot but I get that people keep it bc its different than other social media platforms with its anonymity.

u/Asleep-Astronomer389 Jan 31 '25

Can we prove he said that? Could we verify it with Meta’s own factcheckers?

Exactly what my AI chatbot came up with when I typed in, "What does 'this b needs a c in his a' mean?"

I got a coconut, but I don’t think it needs to go in his arms.

This sounds like my math class. Are we trying to solve for A?

u/mrvis Jan 31 '25

I prefer the Team America version.

See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

Algorithm* bro is clearly ai

u/HashBrownRepublic Jan 30 '25

I don't think he's employees care that he's very rich. They wouldn't work for him if that mattered to him, they would like this.

The leaks are probably happening because Facebook is notoriously a petty and Machiavellian place to work. It's the kind of work environment where the middle and upper management emphasize the office politics and see it as competency if you're effective in it.

When you do that, you just end up with an organization that you can't trust.

DARPAs Lifelog project was shut down the same day Facebook was launched.
