Thomas also discusses Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s position. “I mean, no king in history has been the ruler of two billion people, but Mark Zuckerberg is. And he’s 36. That’s too much for a 36-year-old … You should not have power over two billion people. I just think that’s wrong.”

Thomas went on to say, Facebook-owned WhatsApp, Instagram, and Oculus “need to be separate companies.”. Combined, the platforms represent “too much power when they’re all one together.”

“I would break it up and I would remove Zuck as the CEO,” Thomas claims.

“The government needs to step in and break up Google and Facebook. I’ll make less money but it’s a better thing for the world.”

“Facebook and Google are too powerful and they need to be made less powerful,” Thomas claimed. 

In a separate conversation, Thomas opined “Facebook and Google are no longer companies, they’re countries.”

He talked about the fact that 49 states were suing Facebook but think these legal battles will drag on for years, and ultimately nothing will happen.
