    I’m sure he’s self aware enough to know he doesn’t deserve it. I think there’s very few people that believe that there exists a meritocratic place in this earth and Zuck doesn’t strike me as the type to believe he was chosen by God.

      I get the impression plenty of these ultra-rich techbros come to believe that they’re there by merit. They don’t see all the luck that went into their riches, and they habitually take credit for the work done by those beneath them. People like Bezos and Musk may genuinely believe they’re better (smarter, more insightful, more capable) than others. I expect many ultra-rich CEOs get like that, not just in tech companies. And certainly many of those investors who do nothing but mess around with the stock market think they’re more brilliant than everyone who doesn’t.

        As someone who works in tech any co-founder who gets anywhere abso-fucking-lutely believes their shit smells different. They wrap it up in all of this colorful language about making a difference and helping people and “impact,” but at the end of the day they’re there to exploit you and your coworkers to make millions

      I tend to agree, but then again this is the guy that intentionally has a shit haircut so he can look like some Roman dude
