Some are giving some serious thought to the idea, while others are making the statements in jest, but only one has really moved forward with this political aspiration.

AceShowbiz - Marc Zuckerberg might have too many brilliant ideas to be confined only to his tech business. In 2017, there was strong speculation that the Facebook co-founder and CEO could be running for office in 2020. He and his wife Priscilla Chan reportedly hired Democratic pollster Joel Benenson, former campaign manager for Barack Obama, David Plouffe, as well Ken Mehlman, who directed President George W. Bush's 2004 re-election campaign, for their philanthropic project.
But that's not all. The computer genius reportedly went on a yearlong "listening tour," where he was supposedly traveling to all 50 states and meeting with leaders and constituents in each. Despite the so-called strong evidence, Mark later denied that he would pursue a political career, posting on Facebook in May 2017, "Some of you have asked if this challenge means I'm running for public office. I'm not."
