Zuck could 100% be elected president someday. It certainly seems more plausible than I would have said about Trump in say ~2012.

- The US worships rich and successful businessmen in general.

- Facebook is the most powerful media empire the world has ever know. It could easily mobilize to support a Zuck campaign.

- His charisma and current reputation are obviously votes against him but reputation is malleable (see previous point re: media empire) and political training could probably go a long way.

Yeah, let's start by not worshiping rich businessmen.
It's too late for that. Have you ever looked at the web page you are on?
I agree. Note that I don't want this to happen, but I don't share the GP's confidence that it's impossible.
