It's a shame he ended up at Facebook of all the places he could've worked for - Space X, Tesla, Apple, maybe even Google X. Such a waste.

Technically he's at Oculus at Facebook. I think if the Oculus team was to go away he would probably walk. Not sure how this is any worse than Google X or Apple unless you think Google/Apple is intrinsically better than Facebook somehow.

I don't view it that way. If anything, finally some of Facebook's money is going towards an end I like. Remember that he is not working on Facebook, they just gave his company lots of cash and get to say they own it.

The guy's only 44! With luck, he's only at the midpoint of his career.
