Mark Zuckerberg's net worth is shedding billions
business insider ^

Posted on 10/04/2021 4:57:48 PM PDT by algore

Mark Zuckerberg's net worth is nosediving amid revelations from a whistleblower and Monday's widespread Facebook outages.

Zuckerberg's net worth dipped by $7 billion in a matter of hours as a stock selloff prompted Facebook to fall by roughly 5%. Zuckerberg's wealth has now dropped to $120.9 billion, making him the fifth-richest person in the world behind Bill Gates, according to Bloomberg's Scott Carpenter.

Zuckerberg had previously risen as high as No. 3 on Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, but his net worth has been sliding for several weeks: Since September 13, Zuckerberg has lost $19 billion, according to Bloomberg.

Reports of issues accessing Facebook β€” as well as Facebook-owned platforms Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp β€” arose around 11:45 a.m. ET on Monday, according to user reports on Downdetector. Facebook said in a tweet that it is currently "working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible."

It’s all fake at this point, could jump up tomorrow. Well unless Biden’s tax plan happens, then taxes on fictional wealth will be real.

Unfortunately it’s only a tiny blip on the stock chart. Pencil necked Marxist geek only deserves $20 of Piano Wire.

As someone who came of age before the Internet, we worried about the government becoming Orwell's Big Brother. No one suspected that Big Tech would become Big Brother, either for the government, or as the government's puppet master. That is what transpired. I value my privacy, and never wanted to publicize my life on social media, and never wanted to patronize things like FB. I also got sick of its founder spouting off his opinion on everything, like I should care.

Hopefully, I don't get censored for writing this, but Zuck F*ck*rberg.

I suspect the ties between agencies in the Govt and companies like facebook and google are deeper than anyone might offhand think.

Was FB a CIA operation, as has long been rumored?

Did they pull the plug?

If so, why and why now?

https://www.tmz.com/2021/05/28/mark-zuckerberg-surfing-shark-ankle-bracelet/

Mark was out on his hydrofoil surfboard in Kauai, Hawaii Thursday, wearing an ankle bracelet called Sharkbanz. The promise is that sharks don’t like what it emits, so they stay clear of surfers.

I hope for his sake the ankle bracelet security is as robust as his web-empire.

I think we all KNOW where Zuckermuck comes from...


"Ferengi women were referred to as "females." They were barred from most aspects of society, such as not being allowed to earn profit or to travel. They were not even allowed to wear clothes and were expected to be undressed at all times. "

The naked truth, just like Z
