Wheeee!
i guess markr had a baby and now he regrets the evil he has done in this world and want to repent?

or maybe he wants to spend it all on techbro poo poo like wi-fi and teachig kids to code and cutting babies pee-pees

zuckerberg and bill gates will fight for control of the world like godzilla and mothra with their massive charity lasers while we cover in fear

quote:

For your generation to live in a better world, there is so much more our generation can do.
Today your mother and I are committing to spend our lives doing our small part to help solve these challenges. I will continue to serve as Facebook's CEO for many, many years to come, but these issues are too important to wait until you or we are older to begin this work. By starting at a young age, we hope to see compounding benefits throughout our lives.

As you begin the next generation of the Chan Zuckerberg family, we also begin the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to join people across the world to advance human potential and promote equality for all children in the next generation. Our initial areas of focus will be personalized learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities.

We will give 99% of our Facebook shares -- currently about $45 billion -- during our lives to advance this mission. We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these issues. But we want to do what we can, working alongside many others.

idk this may be a good thing? or a bad thing? its a lot of money either way. probably you could build a space escalator or give every child in india their own ip address

LOL dear God I hope this is true

buncha dumbasses parroting the "Mark Fuckerberg gives away billions to help poor kids" line just because he's giving shares of his company "to advance prosperity and humanity" or whatever never-actually-said-charity entity he's giving the shares to.

Wanna run with my crew huh? Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?

I'd rather focus on the weird impersonal letter he wrote his kid and put online.

I realize it was in part a press release, but why frame it as a "letter to my kid in the future". It makes it sound like he's going to treat his child like a stock holder.

no it's going to focus on "providing internet access" [internet.org aka "facebook is the internet if you're a pov"] and "improve education" which why does every goddamn billionaire nerd think they can do this and it always fucks everything up, when zuck gave $100mm to newark 20% went to constultants, a little bit went to teachers [$3k if they took on a bunch of extra work] and literally nothing else changed
