No he didn't. He wasn't even there. This isn't a real thing.
Hot take: Since I've seen this article posted a ton lately...
Facts:
- Zuck wasn't on board
- They were on a different radio channel than the distress call
- By the time they switched to the same radio channel, another vessel was already helping
- The distressed vessel was not in imminent danger, just without power
Be pissed at Zuck for all the right reasons. This isn't one of them. The captain was just doing his job.
They were on a different radio channel than the distress call
There is a particular frequency that distress calls go out on, you are required by maritime law to always be tuned into that channel. So to claim that you are innocent because you weren't tuned to the channel is like claiming that police didn't respond to a 999 call because the operator was using the line to talk to their friends. They are still basically admitting to breaking the law.
By the time they switched to the same radio channel, another vessel was already helping
Should they were not tuned into a illegally mandated frequency for a good while then. They still have questions to answer.
The fact that the vessel wasn't in immediate danger is irrelevant because they had no way to know that because they weren't listening to the distress frequency.
Did they call out on 16? The article I read implied (but admittedly didn't outright state) they didn't make a distress call and just called for general assistance, and they called the Coast Guard on 22A, then the Coast Guard issued an assistance request for them on . Which would mean that Zuck's crew didn't do anything illegal and was just skuzzy, as should be expected of anything connected to him. Still means they were either lying about/poorly keeping watch on 16 as the Coast Guard should have broadcast on it.
You want to tell me there is one small radio with single channel on the billion dollar worth yacht.
Not defending Zuck the Cuck, but just how many multi channel radios do you think they need to have? And how do you monitor and manage all those radios as a single crewmember on duty on the bridge ? Does an entity like the Coast Guard bear any responsibility to listen to the emergency channel and know how to contact the nearest ship/boat?
Basically this is how this whole shitshow started. So yeah coastguard politely asked them for help.

Is that what they're saying. If they're claiming that then it's incompetence, which I'd love for that yacht, a crew captained by incompetence. (Spoiler: it's not)
There are certain frequencies you broadcast for help on, those channels are always open. They heard the distress calls, life or death you help. Negligence plain and simple.
Oh, no, the billionaire cunt who's known for being a cunt and mocking the trust of his user base has done a complete cunt thing! So unexpected.
God, even after coming out as villains, billionaires suck ass.
Same vibe as that fuck Joel Osteen refusing to allow people to shelter during a hurricane. These people care for no one but themselves and their money.
EAT. THE. FUCKING. RICH.
Starvin here, what time's dinner?
We would need some type of big knife to cut the heads off, maybe a slanted blade falling in a track of some kind.
As a person that hates billionaires and the current economic situation, but also has an understanding of maritime rules and some of the finer details of this story, I think you should rewrite your headline. They were outside of a harbor in Alaska and there was no distress call. If you want to build something, please don’t base it on lies because that just weakens the foundation of what could be something we have coming.
The Silicon Valley billionaire’s yacht, worth a reported $300m, is said to have “repeatedly” declined to assist when a nearby boat called for help last week.
Does calling for help not count as a distress call?
Tanjs for letting know the actual story, fueling hate throught fake information isnt something anyone will like
Billionaires are literally defective humans. They all belong in mental asylums.
Literally had an opportunity to be batman and can't even take the free W. Defective is correct term.
Whar would you have him do? Help the poor? In THIS economy?
He wasn't even on board, he clearly left instructions to his crew to never allow a poor on board
Oops! My guess is that he had some tweens on that boat and would have found himself in a compromising position if he intervened. His bros assaulted the tweens while he recorded it all through his "man glasses". /s
Mark is a self-admitted asshole. The fact that he doesn't care about how movies depicted his initial real life rise to fame and knowing how teenagers are harmed by social media shows he doesn't care.
Why is this an image instead of a link?

Because OP just turboposts crap from reddit
That is not what happened.
Just because they didn't die (someone else rescued them) doesn't mean his crew didn't "leave them to die." Do you have evidence they knew the other ship would arrive in time? The duty of the nearest vessel to help a vessel in distress has been part of the Law of the Sea since the beginning.
There are different levels of help request and this wasn’t the “oh shit we’re dying” request.
So yeah…
Not a joke but what is the law of the sea?
What happens if you break it?
Sea jail?
Maritime law.
Keelhauling
Pretty sure boats are registered to specific countries and generally fall under the laws of that country in international waters. In non-international waters, I'm pretty sure it's under that nation's laws.
an android robot has little concern for organic lifeform.
Bootstraps don't work at sea??? How would he know?
Would you expect more from a billionare?
You dont get billions ethically.
"Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram owner Meta Platforms, was not onboard at the time, a spokesperson told Forbes."
Most humans are defective. He profits on you, on exploiting children, on child abuse ads, and now this. BUT we still indirectly support him, cheer him on, give him money - why? Because we are lazy, Facebook is practical and we don't bother to change anything.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
