When a public figure hires a top political campaign manager and announces plans to tour the country, you assume he or she plans to run for office. These would normally be clear signals someone is gearing up for a political campaign, according to Bradley Tusk, a regulatory adviser for tech companies and former campaign manager for Michael Bloomberg. Yet Tusk think this probably isn't true for Zuckerberg because most political offices would be a step down for him. Beyond that, Callahan doubts Zuckerberg is ready to put any public office ahead of Facebook. Rather than angle for public office, Zuckerberg appears to be modeling himself off one of his childhood heroes, Bill Gates.
