Mark Zuckerberg panned border wall with Mexico, but builds one at his home

Jun 29, 2016, 11:37 AM

A few months ago, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg made some waves taking a swipe at Donald Trump’s plan to build a border wall with Mexico. Now, Zuckerberg has built a wall around his palatial estate, angering neighbors.

In a speech at an annual developer conference, Zuckerberg told an audience “I hear fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as others.”

Now, Zuckerberg is in hot water with his neighbors in Kilaue, Hawaii because he’s … built a six foot tall wall surrounding his $100 million estate.

As reported by NBC News:

One resident told local newspaper The Garden Island that the wall was “really oppressive. It’s immense,” noting that the wall “cuts off this view that’s been available and [appreciated] by the community here for years.”

Say what you will about he or Trump’s stance on building a wall, this is rather rich irony and funny optics for Zuckerberg.
