32-year-old Facebook CEO and Mission District resident Mark Zuckerberg recently announced plans to travel to the 30 American states he's never visited and like, connect with the flyover people. In preparation for his trip to Ohio, Zuckerberg's staff managed to dig up a family that had voted for Barack Obama twice before lending their support to Donald Trump.
Yes, thought Mark Zuckerberg. I will break bread with these Ohioans.
Business Insider reports that 57-year-old Daniel Moore of Newton Falls, Ohio works at a Russian-owned steel mill as an engineer and his wife Lisa is a school teacher. He revealed his recent voting record to a local paper and Facebook's team of global spies added Moore to their watchlist.
According to Moore, a couple of weeks before Zuckerberg arrived into town, Moore got a phone call asking if he'd be willing to host a billionaire philanthropist from California for dinner. Once convinced this offer to hit a stranger for dinner was legit, Moore let an advance team come to his house and take pictures. He then invited all the family and friends that could squeeze around his dinner table. It wasn't until 15 minutes before suppertime that the Moore's guest name was revealed. OMG the guy from Facebook!
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Dr. Priscilla Chan have pledged 99% of their net worth towards charity, much to the future chagrin of their children.
Here are some fun facts that Moore revealed about the dinner:
- Dinner was served on plastic plates with plastic cups and plastic utensils. In the background, the Moore's fine china rests in a glass cabinet, unused.
- Zuckerberg didn't want to sit at the head of the table because he likes to be "surrounded by people," and his staff was relegated to working on laptops in the kitchen.
- If anyone asked, the Moore's are supposed to "hammer home" that Zuck is definitely not running for office.
- Is the guy on the far right of the dinner table wearing a red, "Make America Great Again" cap?
- What's the deal with the chandelier? And maybe Zuck could pick up a couple of those bills from the OVERFLOWING CADDY on his way out.
- Zuckerberg confessed to the Moores - while sitting in their home in Newton Falls, Ohio - that "I never expected to make this amount of money."
It remains unclear what was on the night's menu. I see a lemon slice, I see what appears to be penne. Anyone?
