为什么 Mark Zuckerberg 愿意花 $143 亿投资 Alexandr Wang？

Why would Mark Zuckerberg spend US$14.3 billion to bring in Alexandr Wang? Because of AI Native. Decades ago, when internet companies rose, telecom operators thought it was just a web page, and the internet went on to upend their industry. AI is following the same path. Zuckerberg is betting big not on a short-term opportunity but because he sees certainty: to become truly AI native, a company needs more than technology, it needs a complete overhaul from organisation structure to culture. Of the Big 5 tech giants, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Google and Apple, only Meta is still run by its founder. Founders focus on long-term vision and dare to break old rules; professional managers focus more on stability and KPIs. That isn't about ability, but about how a role shapes thinking. Meta's move is a bet on the future. At Apple, even an open-minded Tim Cook would struggle to get a board to approve such a sky-high hire; Apple's governance is more conservative and more attentive to shareholders' short-term interests. Only people with vision will break the balance this way, because they know only a reshaped organisation can turn a traditional company AI native. The internet era wiped out many traditional businesses; now it's AI's turn, and many companies haven't even caught up with internet-era organisation. Only a founder dares to ignore internal doubts and redefine the whole company.
