Mark Zuckerberg may not be the mostlikablefigure in Silicon Valley , but we can empathize with him on this : It would feel really weird if someone made a movie about your life .
On the YouTube podcast Colin and Samir , Zuckerberg spokeabout the one and only sentence he get word “ The Social web . ”
“ It was weird , human beings , ” he said . “ They got all these very specific details of what I was wearing , or these specific things correct , but then the whole narration arc around my motivations and all this hooey were like , completely wrong . ”
The 15 - year - quondam flick only came up in conversation because Zuckerberg was wear out a T - shirt that Jesse Eisenberg wore when portraying the young founder on screen — Zuckerberg later bought the T - shirt at an auction bridge . Although Zuckerberg used to be known for wear plain Zane Grey T - shirt , he ’s since paida lot more attention to his stylus , so it ’s probable that his T - shirt choice was not an accident .
Zuckerberg enunciate that he knew his employees would be curious to see it anyway , so he order for the company to go catch it together .
“ The whole arc is like , I ’m somehow motivated by trying to find a lady friend , [ but ] I was dating Priscilla before I started Facebook . ”
Perhaps this portrayal of Zuckerberg stanch from another notorious website he create while a scholar : Facemash , an app where students could vote on which of their classmates was the hot . While the service was popular among some students , itangered otherswho feel it was a rape of their privacy ; he had junk his classmates ’ scholar ID photo from secret servers to make the site .

“ It ’s an inauspicious part of the net , how people kind of make up a pot of the founding mythology to what they desire , ” Zuckerberg said .
He denies the theme that Facemash was a precursor to Facebook , claiming that after over two decennium , the great unwashed still link up Facemash and Facebook due to “ The Social connection . ”
“ I was just a kid , ” Zuckerberg pronounce .
