Been saying this was gonna happen. Maybe I should be a tech CEO cos I'd have made a better job of it than that pale shitstain.

honestly as someone who contracts for a lot of tech companies, anyone with the slightest ounce of common sense could be a better CEO than the majority of them. Most are either rich kids that drank the linkedin tech bro kool-aid, former low-level devs that have never had a real interaction with anyone in their lives and just had a good idea/ripped one off one day, or con-men. that's it. If you get into technical details with any of them their eyes gloss over and then they try and throw down big "tech words" in order to come off as knowledgeable in the subject or hell how their company is even run.

All that being said there's one thing they are good at, convincing people to give them money. If you can convince people to give you money AND you actually know what you're talking about with a bit of common sense you'd be a better CEO than the vast majority of tech ceos.

Article does not say what he thinks the mistakes were, I bet he doesn’t think they’re the same thing the crowd does.

My first thought exactly. Classic „CEO says…“ bullshit journalism as well.

He's programmed to waffle when he becomes unpopular enough.

We get fired or written up for being bad at our jobs. CEOs like Zuck get bonuses as long as they apologize.
