He’s not a Libertarian iirc. I think you have the wrong wealthy Mark. You’re thinking of Cuban I believe. Honestly even though he’s done a good job with Facebook, something I feel I can speak with cred on having been a member for nearly its entire existence with no plans to leave. That’s not running a country and even if Zuck expressed views similar to mine, I couldn’t support him.

He doesn’t belong to the party, as far as I am aware, which is why I used small “l” libertarian. He is in line with the party’s views however.

How Mark Zuckerberg’s Alturism Helps Himself

Mark Zuckerberg did not donate $45 billion to charity. You may have heard that, but that was wrong.

Here’s what happened instead: Mr. Zuckerberg created an investment vehicle.

Sorry for the slightly less sexy headline.

Mr. Zuckerberg is a co-founder of Facebook and a youthful megabillionaire. In announcing the birth of his daughter, he and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, declared they would donate 99 percent of their worth, the vast majority of which is tied up in Facebook stock valued at $45 billion today.

In doing so, Mr. Zuckerberg and Dr. Chan did not set up a charitable foundation, which has nonprofit status. He created a limited liability company, one that has already reaped enormous benefits as public relations coup for himself. His P.R. return-on-investment dwarfs that of his Facebook stock. Mr. Zuckerberg was depicted in breathless, glowing terms for having, in essence, moved money from one pocket to the other.

Mark Zuckerberg Defends His Philanthropic Venture against Tax Avoidance Claims

Aside from my privacy issues with Facebook (and my stalker ex-wife), to the extent I can, I avoid doing business with people such as Zuckerberg.

For what it’s worth, my wife the ex-Libertarian campaign treasurer in Colorado, notes that “if it walks like a libertarian and talks like a libertarian… .”
