Facebook founder and chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, says he’s too busy making important life-changing decisions, to have any time to worry about breaking his routine of wearing the same grey T-shirt everyday.
Zuckerberg was commenting about David Fincher’s film about Facebook’s inception, ‘Social Network’. He said many of the facts in the movie was grossly distorted and sometimes exaggerated.
Mr Zuckerberg stated that he owns different versions of the same T-shirt, as clothing.
He said, “I really want to clear my life so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community.”
“I’m in this really lucky position where I get to wake up every day and help serve more than 1bn people, and I feel like I’m not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things that are silly or frivolous about my life, so that way I can dedicate all of my energy towards just building the best products and services,” Zuckerberg added.
Apparently feeling slighted about the ‘Social Network’ movie, Zuckerberg says the makers of the flick had to embellish the facts with interesting fiction, because the reality of writing code was not glamorous.
“I think the reality is that writing code and then building a product and building a company is not a glamorous enough thing to make a movie about, so you can imagine that a lot of this stuff they had to embellish or make up,” he said.
“They went out of their way in the movie to try to get some interesting details correct like the design of the office, but on the overarching plot … they just kind of made up a bunch of stuff that I found kind of hurtful,” Zuckerberg added.
