The OG Silicon Valley stunner, Mark Zuckerberg wears the patented tech start-up uniform on a daily basis: terribly washed, ill-fitting jeans, wack sneakers, gray T-shirt and, specifically in his case, signature hoodie. Nothing even remotely out of the ordinary for anyone working at a tech company. But why, Mark? WHY? That's what we really want to know. At a recent Q&A session, Lord Zuck tha gawd dished on the reason he sticks to the uniform he does.

You can see his full answer above, which interjects some great marketing speak on the behalf of Facebook, saying he wants to serve the "community" of the billion people that use Facebook and all that sort of shit. He cites psychological theories that point out even the smallest decisions like choosing what to wear makes you tired, even if you don't realize it:

I really want to clear my life to make it 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 a billion people. I feel like I'm not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things that are silly or frivolous about life...

I mean, I get it. I just feel like with all that Facebook money, he can drop some coin on, like, at least subtle flexes. Even if it's just a superior grey tee from, like, Rick Ownes or Alexander Wang. That way, he can go full Eisenberg on motherfuckers if need be. Something like that. I don't know. It's good to have options. These are the things I think about when I imagine having a lot of money.
