    I mean he just pumped that money into the US and Chinese economy. It’s not like he lit a pile of money on fire like the Joker. Most of that money went into salaries of the people doing R&D and manufacturing of the headsets in China. Lets hope the Zuck has a dozen more of these failures.

      Absolutely it didn’t just get lit on fire.

      But that amount of money is enough to end world hunger for a decade. (According to the WHO, ~$7-8 billion a year.)

      Instead of being the next Carnegie but with food instead of libraries, and worldwide, Zuckerberg went for a moon shot pet project that an undergrad MBA student would’ve been laughed out of the room for presenting. Diverting time, money, and resources from anything actually productive.

      While paying basically no taxes.
