I'd say that about several other CEOs too if their fanboys wouldn't jump down my throat about it. Zuckerberg is just universally unpopular enough that you can get away with it

What is a popular CEO? They're generally untrustworthy people.

Steve Jobs was. Elon Musk is.

Outside of tech Warren Buffett seems popular.

I don't know what the baseline is for CEO popularity (I guess most people don't know that many CEOs by name?) but I'd be hard-pressed to call a 37/50 favorable/unfavorable ratio popular: https://www.natesilver.net/p/elon-musk-polls-popularity-nate...

Maybe he's no longer popular, but he had a cameo in Iron Man 2 and hosted SNL. That speaks to popularity.

Also, is favorable/unfavorable a good measure of popularity?
