During a work trip to Tokyo in 2014, Mark Zuckerberg declared Andrew Jackson the greatest U.S. president, admiring his ruthlessness and populism, as recounted by former Meta executive Sarah Wynn-Williams in her memoir. Despite competing opinions on other historical leaders like Lincoln and Roosevelt, Zuckerberg firmly stated Jackson was the standout, showcasing his belief in Jackson's decisiveness. Wynn-Williams's memoir presents these insights during her tenure at Facebook, despite Meta's dismissal of her account as outdated and false, calling into question the representation of its governance and executive influence.
In her book, Wynn-Williams said Zuckerberg admired Jackson for his ruthlessness and for being a populist and individualist who 'got stuff done.'
Wynn-Williams recounts, 'What about Lincoln or Roosevelt?' I asked Zuckerberg then. 'Wouldn't you say they got stuff done?' 'No,' Zuckerberg said in response. 'It's Jackson. It's not even close.'
Zuckerberg expressed his admiration for Andrew Jackson, stating during a trip in Tokyo that Jackson was the greatest president America ever had.
A spokesperson for Meta criticized Wynn-Williams' book as a 'mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims' with 'false accusations' about the company's executives.
