Summary

The video discusses an incident where Mark Zuckerberg's yacht was reportedly near a stranded father and son in Alaska but did not offer assistance. A smaller cruise ship eventually performed the rescue, and the yacht crew claimed they did not receive the Coast Guard's messages.

So the Coast Guard put out a message to Mark Zuckerberg who was owned his 300 million in close proximity to where this stranded ship was with this father and son owned it. Well, it ended up a smaller ship came to the rescue, a small cruise ship came to the rescue who was much further away from the scene than Mark Zuckerberg's uh yacht was. And when questioned about it, the yacht crew wanted to say they didn't hear any messages. And it was repeated messages that the Coast Guard set.

So Mark Zuckerberg another one to look at.Another one to look at.
