I’m curious why anyone takes inspiration from Zuckerberg.

Basically, when you are rich the same opinions you had when you were poor now matter.

Its magic, like a superpower.

I find it funny, how social media created even more hate against the rich... especially movie stars.

Before social networks, the rich and famous (from large businessmen to moviestars) had tv interviews and large newspaper articles, where whole PR teams went over the questions, the answers, the article itself, and made things "look god" for the rich/famous person.

Now, with social media, you have (eg.) people suffering due to lockdowns, and Madonna posts a video in a milky bathtub complaining about crap, Gal Gadot does a really bad singing job and sings "imagine" ("...imagine no posessions...") while people are literally going broke an hungry, and Elon Musk posts a tweet and half of crypto goes up/down, depending on whats in the tweet.

"An idea is good no matter where it comes from" shouldn't be true in reverse?
Because under religious capitalism, money = grace.
