Zuckerberg’s big praise for this fast food joint

Mark Zuckerberg was in Japan for a fun-filled trip with his family – which also included skiing.

Tokyo:

He may be the fourth richest person in the world and visited gourmet paradise Japan, but Mark Zuckerberg is eating McDonald’s, according to photos posted Tuesday by the Meta chief.

“Japanese McDonald’s: 10/10. Give these guys a Michelin star,” the 39-year-old said on Facebook and Instagram alongside photos of himself and his wife Priscilla Chan outside the golden arches eating burgers in sunglasses.

Popular Japanese menu items seen on Zuckerberg’s packed tray included shrimp-patty burgers, teriyaki chicken burgers, edamame bean salad and bite-sized churros — along with the more usual chicken nuggets and fries.

Zuckerberg was in Japan with his family for a trip that mixed pleasure – which included skiing and making Japanese swords – and business.

After meeting with Facebook developers in Tokyo on Monday and Tuesday, Zuckerberg was reportedly scheduled to travel to South Korea and then India for the wedding of a billionaire’s son.

Zuckerberg is expected to meet with President Yoon Suk Yeol and leaders of tech giants Samsung and LG in Seoul, according to South Korean media.

He will also meet with the CEO of LG Electronics to discuss the development of a mixed-reality headset to compete with Apple’s Vision Pro, Korea Economic Daily reports.

Meta, Google and others have invested billions of dollars in Reliance’s digital arm Jio Platforms as it looks to take on Amazon and Walmart in India’s huge e-commerce market.
