Does anyone really believe he could be elected president someday? (mentioned in the article)

Trump showed us that the old guard is less powerful than we\they thought. The zuck could absolutely win and facebook would be his tool to do it.

Zuckerberg has the charisma of a fish though.

When you're rich enough, you quickly get surrounded by people who are happy to agree with any damn fool notion you come up with.

Just those who will make it their business to believe it’s possible (politcal consultants). Exhibit A: Bloomberg campaign

If they were eligible, Schwarzeneggar (years ago) or Musk (now), would have a better shot —- still small —- because it would be a circus. And we have evidence that a circus can get you elected.
