Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is worth an estimated $69 billion, stated in a recent internal Q&A that he sympathizes with Bernie Sanders’ view on billionaires, and agrees that “no one deserves to have that much money.”
CNBC reports that during a livestreamed employee Q&A call this week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussed a number of topics including politics. Zuckerberg was asked to respond to Senator Bernie Sanders’s comment that billionaires should not exist, and gave a surprising answer given that Zuckerberg himself is worth $69 billion.
“I understand where he’s coming from,” Zuckerberg said. “I don’t know that I have an exact threshold on what amount of money someone should have but on some level no one deserves to have that much money.”
Zuckerberg was also asked about comments he made during two separate leaked internal Q&A sessions he had with employees in July. Zuckerberg is quoted as saying: “You have someone like Elizabeth Warren that thinks that the right answer is to break up the companies … I mean, if she gets elected president then I would bet that we will have a legal challenge, and I would bet that we will win the legal challenge.”
Zuckerberg adds: “And does that still suck for us? Yeah. I mean, I don’t want to have a major lawsuit against our own government. I mean, that’s not the position that you want to be in when you’re, you know, I mean … It’s like, we care about our country, and want to work with our government and do good things. But look, at the end of the day, if someone’s going to try to threaten something that existential, you go to the mat and fight.”

Is he admitting that he stole the idea for Facebook from his roommate?
This guy hates walls too. Except his own. Which is awesome.
Easy for him to say that. Let’s see how willing he is to go to a sub-$1B bank statement. He may have come up with a very popular app, but he doesn’t strike me as all that bright.
Mark . . . Mark . . . it is like the ring, you THINK you can use it to go good rather than evil. It must be gotten rid of.
Pfffftttttt! And admit he’s a fraud? Not likely. You’d think he could afford some lifts for his shoes and maybe a booster seat for the next time he appears in front of congress. Stacking phone books to sit on just looks tacky.
Well, he is a lizard and they don’t care about money.
Don’t believe me?
Find a lizard, any lizard.
Try to give them a dollar.
They will run away.
Biggest fraud and hypocrite on the face of the planet...and then some.
Every wealthy Lib says the same thing. They say this to insulate themselves from being attacked by other Libs. However, not a one of them has ever written a multi-billion dollar check to the US Treasury.
Every one of them employs lawyers and tax specialists to minimize / hide their wealth from the IRS to the maximum extent possible.
So let’s see him donate his money to the IRS rather than a corrupt foundation and his own on- and offshore accounts. Pretty simple really.
69 billion would buy a small country!
Reversion to the Mean takes care of billionaires.
What we have to deal with are the crooked politicians and lobbies.
He could make 69,000 charities very happy right now if he donated a million to each.
Having money is a responsibility. After taking care of family needs the proper farming of money helps many people.
He’s covering his ass with progressive propaganda
You are NOT the arbiter of "should".
Give away what you will, but the Government isn't in the position of deciding how much of your earnings you're allowed to keep!!!
Here he goes again. He says this crap yet he holds on to his money.
Hey Zuckie....that’s easily remedied...send me about 100 million and that will be a start...
The hypocrite is one wealthy a**.
