How long before Zuckerberg does the Nazi salute on stage too?
I give it 2 years depending on if he wants to keep his job or not and how little he thinks his soul is worth
He's long, long past any sentimentality about his "soul". Musk is insane, but Zuckerberg is calculating. He wouldn't show up on stage doing a salute unless he knows he stands to gain.
There's some thriller book around the collapse of the US power grid that had a Zuck in it, he pre-replaced all his teeth with ceramic (I think?) so he'd never need a dentist. Had a bunker built off-book twice underground with food, supplies, security.
I assume this Zuck is that Zuck (6 months from now, with our current timeline speed.)
That Zuck died pretty quick, hilariously. Terrible people never win in the end, and they're always alone.
It's not because a fiction book on the human condition is right, it's because when it comes right down to it, survival of the fittest kicks in, and no being in the universe would pick a piece of garbage as the winning choice.
The mistake these oligarchs always make, is that they think the "alpha male" in a pack chose his role because he was greedy and powerful. In reality, the alpha male was chosen by the pack, because he was the best chance of the pack's survival.
These people need the libertarian myth of the alpha male/ubermensch because otherwise, they'd have to face the fact the their success is really from inheritance and luck. Hard work and intelligence doesn't take you very far when, statistically, your boss is a sociopath.
Exactly. I'm saying if Trump makes the guy and the other billionaires do it and he wants to keep his job, he might do it.
I checked and I don’t think I was following him. I don’t really use meta accounts. Did this not affect everybody?
Apparently, this happened because people were following biden and kamala. When trump got in, those accounts changed hands and became trump and vance accounts. Apparently thats how they do it. They are accounts for the current president and vice president. Whoever that is.
Just leave Instagram. The quickest way to get rid of a stalking "president".
After a decade of wondering why my friends still used Instagram, they're finally talking about uninstalling it this week. So I'm all for these new features, keep em coming zuck!
Make sure to point them towards Pixelfed! The more people we can get onboarded to federated platforms, the better.
It would probably work if they just deleted their accounts.
