    Haha, I was going to point out he’s not wearing the leather jacket in this pic.

    I don’t get his obsession with it, he’s always worn it, and for the tech industry, that’s even more quirky.

      It’s like Zuckerburg’s old white t-shirt thing or Steve Jobs with his turtleneck.

      It’s an easy way to get PR as a tech bro, especially in the modern day where one of your main goals is appealing to young men who both buy your products and vote for the people who control how your products are purchased

        A lot of famous people have a very simple outfit to discourage photographers.

        If you look exactly the same from one day to the next, nobody can make money off taking pictures of you.

          I was informed awhile back that my chronic dehumanization of Zuckerberg was technically tied to antisemitic tropes awhile back so I’ve been trying to avoid doing that lol but I appreciate the fix!

          My thinking is if there’s anyone we know who loves antisemitism, it’s definitely gonna be the guy who made Facebook.
