- Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg has faced jibes on social media over claims he has staff blow-dry his armpits before public appearances.
Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg has faced jibes on social media over claims he has staff blow-dry his armpits before public appearances.
The claim is from a new book, Facebook: The Inside Story by Steven Levy, that will be released later this month.
A Bloomberg review included the anecdote about Mr Zuckerberg having a member of his communication team dry his “anxiety sweat” before a speech.
A Facebook spokesperson said she doubted the story’s accuracy.
“I doubt this is true, and if so, it would have been at our communications team’s request, but surely anyone who has ever worn a grey T-shirt can relate,” said Liz Bourgeois, a Facebook spokesperson.
The anecdote was first reported in a review of the book by Bloomberg News.
The description of one of Silicon Valley’s top executives having a member of his staff help hide his perspiration drew jokes on social media including from other tech leaders.
Twitter’s chief executive Jack Dorsey posted that he had never asked his staff to dry his armpits but would be willing to do it for his communications team.
