Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey’s contrasting aesthetics have become a Twitter meme

Congress grilled Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey at a on Tuesday, questioning the respective CEOs of Facebook and Twitter on their moderation practices amidst the U.S. election. Held in order to investigate (pretty much debunked) allegations of anti-conservative bias, it wasn’t the first Congressional hearing on big tech companies and it won’t be the last. 

It was, however, excellent meme fodder.

The hearing took place via video conference, with the Senate Judiciary Committee live-streaming it to the public. Viewers quickly took note of the stark difference in appearance between Dorsey and Zuckerberg, the pair looking like a kiwi fruit and his disappointing hardboiled egg stepson.

While Dorsey had grown out his pandemic beard to go full kid’s movie villain, Zuckerberg sported the familiar skull cap haircut that he probably prints onto his cranium once a year to save time. Put the two men side by side, and it looks like a tenured scientist presenting his successful crossbreeding of an axolotl and a thumb.

Twitter has been delighted by the contrast, creating inventive stories for why these two men might have been based on appearances if they weren’t incredibly powerful and wealthy big tech CEOs. More than one involve wizards and robots.

Mark, my dude, please find a barber that actually likes you. We promise you have enough money for it.
