But when Facebook was created, they were a scrappy little startup with nothing to lose.

The Facebook of 2023 is not a scrappy little startup with nothing to lose.

But remember Zuckerberg will always be rich and is not able to be fired.

So he can sure act like he has nothing to lose.

Well most of his money is in Facebook stocks so he has plenty to lose.

And he'll still have more money than he knows what to do with assuming just about any level of sensible diversification.

or if he never disversifies at all, and FB loses 99% of its value, he'll still have more money than he can spend in a lifetime.

He can just fire tens of thousands more people and his wealth will go up. As it has. META is up a whooping 72% since 1 January. That's a shit ton of wealth creation for him while his employees who helped build the company for him are losing their livelihoods.
