Mark Zuckerberg
CEO of Meta. Announcements, apologies, and the metaverse that was going to change everything.
Mark Zuckerberg runs Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. He has been a main character in tech news for so long that he is basically permanent.
My view: Zuckerberg is the guy the internet decided to have opinions about years ago, and nothing he does changes the story. He is careful in public, robotic in the old clips, and has spent billions chasing the next big thing, from the metaverse to AI. People love to call every move a failure, and sometimes they are right. But Meta still runs the apps half the world uses every day. That is a lot of power in one person’s hands, and it is the reason everyone keeps talking about him. I think the fair read is that he is a very driven guy who keeps betting big and mostly landing on his feet. The conversation around him will keep going because the apps are not going anywhere.
