    Seriously, who ever liked Mark Zuckerberg? Elon seemed likeable early on, but who thought Zuckerberg was someone to look up to? Facebook was initially a website to decide which girl was the most fuckable in your college class.

      I did when I was an early teenager, I practically worshipped Steve Jobs as well. I thought Silicon Valley was objectively bringing humanity forward into a new era of happiness and egalitarian prosperity. Then I started reading and learning not to accept what manipulative people say at face value. You know, growing up. So many people never make it to the “growing up” part.

      But people liked Facebook when it initially became mainstream. And they made a movie about zuck where he was painted as some comp sci genius and great entrepreneur. That was so long ago though.

        Did we watch the same movie? The whole plot was that he was making a conscious choice to rip off his friends and colleagues for his own enrichment.
