I mean, he's been pretty open about his goals and moral code for a while now. The entire company was built on the assumption that being connected to as many people as possible is net good.

You can probably argue that he's wrong on this, but it's hard to say that he just cares about himself.

I doubt it, but I guess its possible that is his only true north. If it is, he is going about it in a Machiavellian or Caesar like manner where he does not care about the impact he has while attaining those goals. But I also think it's possible that his actions are those of someone who is power hungry and does not care about what happens in his wake.

The dude is a classics nerd, and supposedly a bunch of the original FB mottos were in Latin (Fortune Favours the Bold, at least). That isn't surprising to me, at least.
