Zuckerberg for President?
« on: August 02, 2017, 09:09:39 PM »
I'm pretty sure most here are on the "no" side, but I'm actually curious if progressives are generally for or against him. I don't think I've actually seen any positive press from that contingent.

Side note, if he did become President, it would assure Skynet takes over. Funny story (second link), just days after Zuckerberg made disparaging remarks about Elon Musk's comments on the potential dangers of AI, Facebook had to shutdown a couple of AIs that went off the reservation and started creating their own language.  :laugh:

They all assume Trump is stupid so that means anyone can do it.

It’s happening? Mark Zuckerberg hires Clinton campaign’s chief strategist as a consultant

So it's not happening.

Zuck should read this book, so he'll know What Happened.

Maybe someone should suggest he look for McCain's or Romney's campaign manager as a backup.

There are few people in the USA I'd rather have as president less than Zuckerberg.
