What Alexandr Wang says he learned from Mark Zuckerberg's 'really long' WhatsApp DMs

Alexandr Wang, the man behind Meta's Muse, says Mark Zuckerberg's detailed WhatsApp replies are a "very impressive skill of his."

Alexandr Wang, who helped lead Meta's AI efforts, revealed how Mark Zuckerberg often sends lengthy WhatsApp replies. In an interview with David Senra, Wang expressed confusion when he first encountered these detailed responses. Zuckerberg's fast and rigorous writing style impressed Wang, who noted that the CEO can write lengthy replies quickly.

This anecdote sheds light on Zuckerberg's time management skills, allowing him to balance work, family, and personal life. Wang explained that Zuckerberg prioritizes ruthlessly to maintain this balance. Their initial interaction, sparked by Meta's AI struggles, led to a deeper relationship within a few weeks. The result of their discussions was a 49% stake deal in Scale AI and Wang's transition to Meta, where he now plays a significant role in reshaping the AI division.
