Great read, at first I thought it was just a puff piece but the ending is a great insight into the filter bubble that folks with that amount of money and power live in. He can't handle any criticism or line of questioning that dares to peek behind the curtain, it's something that just never happens in his world.

I'm not sure what level of power he's going to buy next, but everyone should be trying to peek behind the curtain. And deleting their Facebook.

Zuckerberg wants to fully combine his wealth and access to information about us into a presidency and then what? If you say the wrong thing about him on Facebook the IRS suddenly audits you? Criticism of Zuckerberg flags you in government databases as well?

Trump owns a chain of hotels and sells ties and hats, but doesn't operate what could largely be seen as the most expansive and intimate database about every American ever made.
