The answer: He's an evil piece of shit.

They always face questions, but never consequences…

Mark Zuckerberg has faced questions over why a small cruise ship in south-east Alaska rescued a stranded skiff and its crew when his 387ft superyacht had been closer.

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.

Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram owner Meta Platforms, was not onboard at the time, a spokesperson told Forbes.

So, basically, it starts to look like they have standing orders to be selfish and anti-social to point of pushing up against maritime law.

I believe that by international law all vessels have to offer assistance to someone in distress.

The reply? Because I didn't want the poors on my yacht.

He is a disgusting parasite PoS -- also an acceptable answer.

Because the personality disorder required to exploit enough people to become a billionaire causes them to lose their humanity and end up with no empathy?

In Victorian times fiction like Jules Verne's novels and the like, rich yachtsmen saving the day is kind of a trope. What I'm trying to say is that the previous iteration of super rich fucks had some kind of heroic idea of themselves, some kind of noblesse oblige. These cunts are just cunts.

They declined because he doesn't care about anyone but himself. Simple enough when you approach all his actions from this point of view they become predictable.

Sink more yachts.

His yacht has a dingy as you can see at the stern.

Well it’s simple. Its because he’s a prick.

Because basic human decency have no ROI for them, duh.

Illegal activities

ewwwwww poor people on the starboard side of the yacht

Seize the yacht for a couple of months and then charge the dock fee.

Yuckerburg change his story today and said that they didn’t hear it. I read it in another article people from another boat not sure which one were booing them so they must have known ?

Americans have been ignoring boats in distress for a while now, particularly after we bomb them into distress. Expect more to come because boat owners and assholes overlap quite a bit.

Fines for billionaires should START at $1 billion dollars, and that's for a speeding or jaywalking ticket. Something like this should be a $50 billion dollar fine, for each time the call was ignored.

And whoever made the decision to ignore the call goes to prison. If Zuckerfuck himself made the decision, then it's 10 years in prison, and the confiscation of all his yacht, and he will never be allowed to own a water raft ever again. No yachts for you, after you get out of jail in 10 years.

Or, put him on his yacht, blow a hole in the hull, and ignore his pleas for help. Let him figure it out like he made others do, when he ignored their calls for help. See how he likes it in the shark infested ocean.

damn so much for my plans of using a distress signal to get close to him for non-nefarious reasons.

Probably for the same reason people ignore a beggar in the street.

$5 says there were kids on his boat

I'll rescind this when the impartial 3rd party investigation says otherwise

Subhuman

Most likely a tech failure. /s

Breaking news, it turns out Mark zuckerberg is a complete piece of shite.

Guess somebody was in his Meta universe while sitting in the bathroom?

Not shocked at all that a billionaire would care about anyone stranded.

That is a legal requirement of maritime law here... they could definitely sue

Zuck sucks balls

Help the poor?

why would a robot, heed the call of a ship in distress.

"They were dirty foreigners and I thought "Ewww", Zuckerberg said in a released statement. /s

My guess is he didn't have pervert glasses on so he couldn't record the rescue and post it online. So what's the point...

Ithink this means secondary strikes on yachts are ethical.

Were they afraid of being near it in case of a US missile strike? Cause that'd be kinda fair.
