    I do not get the skepticism? I 100% trust Zuckerberg that this will be about as profitable as the metaverse. 🤣 🤡 💸

        Yep he didn’t build Instagram, WhatsApp, or even the Facebook ad engine, which is arguably Meta’s actual product.

        He’s not even a one hit wonder. The only good idea he ever had he stole. His company was built by people he conned and then threw under the bus. Every achievement since then was someone else’s good idea that he bought.

          I’m sorry, you’re going to have to narrow down which Billionaire you’re referring to…

          They made this movie about him like 20 years ago. It had this scene of him in college in a computer science class. Like he was such a genius and knew better than the professor. So much cringe.

            Didn’t see the movie, but in the early 2000s he probably did know more than his professor. 10-years before that, my university had exactly one computer for the whole graphic design college. 20-years before that, computer class was, “Here’s, uh, this thing. Have fun.”

              In a computer science program? At an Ivy League university? After the year 2000? lol no. They had more than one computer and their CS professors would have had PHDs in Computer Science.
