"Zuckerberg requested to be “gently mobbed” during a visit to Asia"

My goodness, billionaires are so pathetic.

Sorry, English isn't my fish language and don't understand what that means.

He requested to be greeted by a (seemingly spontaneous) large, excited crowd

E: oops didn't mean to reply. But yeah that's so needy

no meetings before noon

Idk what's so weird about this. If I was a billionaire I'd definitely have the same policy

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Think I'd be the other way. All meetings before noon and then give me the afternoon to do shit I enjoy.

If I was a billionaire anyone suggesting a meeting would be fired out of a cannon.

These chuds sitting on enough wealth to buy an island and live out their lives in pure bliss still taking meetings just shows how terrible they are at making decisions.

Yeah, in hindsight, if I were a billionaire I'd be in my garage with some nice machine tools making stuff or coding for fun or any number of things I enjoy more than business.

Zuckerberg requested that she arrange either a “peace rally” or a “riot” during his visit. Facebook’s CEO never explains the request, but Wynn-Williams speculates he wanted "to test out how effective his product is in turning Facebook’s online tools into offline power.”

Yo what

Like I said in another sub,

I hate meta and zuckerberg religiously but all of these points seemed like making a fuss about nothing to make profit. Most things here seemed pretty normal and expected for a company that big and it's CEO.

Now I'm speculating if all of this book and suing it's writer is a psyops by meta to say "these are the worst things that they could come up with. These are as bad as it gets"
