Mark Zuckerberg does not care about money. That's what I gathered from reading Chaos Monkeys and An Ugly Truth. He never had that problem. A privileged sociopath who has never known life outside of Westchester, Harvard, and his Silicon Valley compound. He talks about "connecting people" but that's probably because he himself is deathly insecure about it.
He has never been one of our species and that gnaws at him. Do girls like him? Do we like him?
His favorite historical figure is Caesar, he looks like Caesar with his haircut, which is also called "the Caesar". This man drifts away in meetings when they talk about boring money stuff, but he DOES care a buttload about the number of users and those users not leaving. It's power, it's influence - it's what he craves.
But. The man who pivoted on his idea of rating chicks - by stealing a better idea - may have run out his lucky streak, which started by winning the birth lottery in Upstate New York. He may have been at the right place at the right time, of prime age, and of means enough to have access to computers and the Internet (a very common thread, see: Bill Gates), but now that The Facebook brand has literally become toxic (RIP), he has to come up with an actual world-changing idea, and that, as he will find out, is hard.
And it doesn't help that not only is it hard to hire people at Facebook now, I will bet you the farm that those working there are walking it in for the nice paycheck. Why do you think the TikTok algorithm makes Reels look like a high school project? Those people don't have their heart in it, and why would they? The company repeatedly, shamelessly lies to them.
