Zuckerberg future career

Mark Zuckerberg may be seriously underestimated.
The level of sheer hatred he evokes blinds people to his potential; he can do something awesome like water ski on a hydrofoil carrying the American flag for the Fourth of July, and the comments will just be about how very much everyone loathes him.
(Whereas if it had been Jeff Bezos, post-roids & lifting, people would be squeeing about his Terminator-esque badassery.)
And it's not Facebook-hatred, it's Mark-hatred specifically, going back well before the movie _The Social Network_; in fact, I'd say a lot of the histrionics over and hatred of Facebook, which have turned out to be so bogus (like Cambridge Analytica) is motivated by Mark-hatred rather than vice-versa.
Even classmates at Harvard seemed to loathe him.
He just has a "punchable face"; he is short; he somehow looks like a college undergraduate at age 37; he eschews facial hair, emphasizing his paleness and alien-like face, while his haircut appears inspired by the least attractive of Roman-emperor stylings (quite possibly not a coincidence given his sister); he is highly fit, but apparently favors primarily aerobics where the better you get the sicker & scrawnier you look; and he continues to take PR beatings, like when he donated [$75]($2020)m to a San Francisco hospital & the SF city board took time out from minor city business like the coronavirus/housing/homeless/economic crisis just to pass a resolution insulting & criticizing him.
(This is on top of the Newark debacle.)

All of which reminds me of Andrew Carnegie, or Bill Gates in the mid-1990s.
Who then would have seen him turning into a beloved philanthropist?
(After all, simply spending money is no guarantee of love.
No matter how much money he spends, the only people who will ever love Larry Ellison are yach designers, tennis players, and the occasional great white shark.)
He too was blamed for a myriad of social ills, physically unimposing (short compared to CEO peers who more typically are several inches above-average), and was mocked viciously for his nasally voice and smeary glasses and utter lack of fashion and being nerdily neotenous & oh-so-punchable.
Gates could do only one of two things according to the press: advance Microsoft monopolies in sinister & illegal ways to parasitize the world & crush all competition, or make noble-seeming gestures which were actually stalking horses for future Microsoft monopolies.

But he too was fiercely competitive, highly intelligent, an omnivorous reader, willing to learn from his mistakes & experiments, and, of course, backed by one of the largest fortunes in history.
As he grew older, Bill Gates grew into his face, sharpened up his personal style, learned some social graces, lost some of the fire driving the competitiveness, and began applying his drive & intellect to deploying his fortune well.

Zuckerberg starts in the same place.
And it's easy to see how he could turn things around.
Drop the aerobics for weightlifting; find the local doctor (he likely already knows, and just refuses to use him); start experimenting with chin fur and other hair styles, and perhaps glasses; step away from Facebook to let the toxicity begin to fade away; consider carefully his political allegiances and whether the Democratic Party will ever be a viable option for him (he will never be woke enough for the woke wing, especially given their ugly streak of anti-semitism, unless he gives away his entire fortune to a Ford-Foundation-esque slush fund for them, which would be pointless) and how Bloomberg governed NYC; and begin building a braintrust and network to back a revamped political faction of his own.
In 20 years, perhaps we'll look back on Zuckerberg with one of those funny before/after pairings, like Elon Musk in 1997 vs Elon Musk in 2015, or nebbish Bezos in '90s sweater vs pumped bald Bezos in mirror shades & vest, and be struck that Zuckerberg, so well known for _X_ ("curing malaria"? negotiating an end to the Second Sino-Russian Border Conflict?) was once a pariah and public enemy #1.
