Is Mark Zuckerberg planning to enter politics?

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced a new personal challenge for the new year that is fuelling speculation that he plans to enter politics.

In previous years, he has run 365 miles, built a simple home AI, read 25 books and learnt Mandarin. Now the CEO of social media giant Facebook has revealed his 2017 challenge. He plans to visit and chat with people in every US state by the end of 2017.

“I’ve spent significant time in many states already, so I’ll need to travel to about 30 states this year to complete this challenge,” Mr Zuckerberg wrote on Facebook.

“After a tumultuous last year, my hope for this challenge is to get out and talk to more people about how they’re living, working and thinking about the future.”

"As I look around the world, I’m starting to see people and nations turning inward, against the idea of a connected world and a global community," he said during the keynote. "I hear fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as ‘others.’ I hear them calling for blocking free expression, for slowing immigration, for reducing trade, and in some cases even for cutting access to the Internet."
