If he's a genius, maybe he could at least try to make something the value of which is not only measured in dollar bills.

I have a great instrument to connect to friends who for various reasons live very very far away. We would not stay close if it wasn’t Facebook. We could call, we could send emails or messages, but realistically we wouldn’t do it (or not that often) if there wasn’t medium like Facebook. Being able to stay connected is priceless.
Donalds fan club thinks he is genius too.
Obama's fan club thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace prize.
Elon's fan club is convinced a boring red dirt ball where nothing lives is the place to be.
Greta's fanclub think she is Jesus
The Kardashian fan club think she is the greatest feminist in history.
Who we admire says a lot about who we are and our individual Needs much more than it says anything about the people we prop up.

What are you talking about?
I do not admire MZ. But if you ask me if he's a good CEO/leader, the example I mentioned is clear proof that he's a rare breed.
You thinking I'm a fanboy shows very little respect for what I expressed before.

Well, that comment of yours says about you more than about what it meant to say, if we want to continue these ad hominem arguments. But we should not use these arguments in polite and constrictive conversation or debate. (Edit: typos)
This is the best set of personal attacks I have ever seen. I could give you full marks if you could substantiate this with some evidence.
It's very easy. You can do it!

Obama actually did win the Nobel peace prize...
This single episode is, in my view, enough to determine that MZ is a very special entrepreneur.
And yes, agree: privacy, Cambridge Analytica, etc, all topics that deserve attention. But purely looking at his skills, he's simply a genius with iron balls.
