Huh? It seems pretty obvious that he does not have the necessary charisma.

He did a tour of America to "meet folks" and did internal polling regarding how he was received (poorly, which tempered expectations) but wouldn't be surprising if he still harbors ambitions in that realm. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alexkantrowitz/new-data...

I felt like he was doing a lot of personal PR and a presidential run felt like it was in the works for 2020, but Facebook soured pretty quickly well before that could be realized.

I don't think he would have done particularly well either, due to lack of charisma.

Highlights from his hourlong livestream to show how relatable and definitely a human he is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVyLlFezj2E

He has about the right level of empathy.

Yeah, I remember a lot of people mocking him during all of the hearings for his robot-like demeanour. Like this: https://twitter.com/bananaben420/status/1288564841742041089

I really can't imagine him giving a speech on a stage with cheering crowds.

Except to himself apparently.

Facebook can manufacture the charisma on his behalf, though.
