Billionaire and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was hit with “unanimous booing” this week for reportedly ignoring a request from the U.S. Coast Guard to rescue a stranded sea vessel from his $300 million yacht , the Alaska Beacon reported Saturday.
“Our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht – which was closer – and they repeatedly refused to respond.
Love claimed the stranded vessel – known as the Uncruise Wilderness Legacy – had two women, a child and a dog onboard and was “going too far with too little gas.”
When asked by the Alaska Beacon, Love said it was puzzling as to why the crew of Zuckerberg’s yacht ignored the Coast Guard’s radio call.
“Frankly, if I was Mark Zuckerberg I would be absolutely ecstatic at a chance to do something helpful for someone in need and maybe get some good PR out of it,” Love said.
