The Evolution of Mark Zuckerberg

Survival of the creepiest?

What happened to Mark Zuckerberg? Once a hoodie-wearing coder preaching openness and connection, Mark Zuckerberg is now a gold chain wearing, jiu jitsu practicing metaverse warlord who is vibing with Trump-adjacent influencers.

In this week’s episode, I’m digging into Zuckerberg’s transformation — from the early Facebook years through his big metaverse bet and into his (exclusively chicken nugget eating?) macho phase. Ryan Broderick, host of Panic World and author of Garbage Day; and tech reporter Steven Levy, WIRED’s editor at large and author of Facebook: The Inside Story, join me to break down this evolution.

And as always, I’m asking the question “how is this better?” and wondering if Zuckerberg still cares about making the world “more open and connected,” or if he ever really did.
