The 31-year-old has rarely been seen in anything else, it being the unofficial uniform of tech start-ups. Removing all semblance of colour variation, however, is a bold new step.<\/p>\n<p>But is it a genius move, or one of a psychopath?\u00a0Naturally, the online community, who are after all Zuckerberg&#8217;s people, aired urgent opinions.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/twitter.com\/manstrikeo\/status\/691925231691288576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/p>\n<article data-insert-mobile-adslot=\"\">\n<div class=\"articleBodyText section\">\n<div class=\"article-body-text component \">\n<div class=\"component-content\">\n<p><span class=\"m_first-letter\">T<\/span>aking a curious financial hack angle,\u00a0Lou DiMaggio suggested Zuckerberg&#8217;s saving on different coloured t-shirts could be responsible for his enormous personal wealth. We presume it&#8217;s more likely to do with the social media website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\">Facebook.com, <\/a>but it&#8217;s certainly an argument worth hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Others, like Aiden Arrendondo, seemed largely lost for words:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/twitter.com\/manstrikeo\/status\/691925231691288576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_first-letter\">J<\/span>essie Lim gave a backhanded compliment, after pointing out that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/news\/ni0051271\/\">Daniel Radcliffe<\/a> also wore the same t-shirt for an extended period of time.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/twitter.com\/White_umbrella\/status\/691919295585058818?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_first-letter\">S<\/span>hakespeare probably didn&#8217;t foresee the Silicon Valley generation when he wrote that &#8220;Clothes make the man&#8221;, but it has since been argued that <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2014\/11\/17\/mark-zuckerberg-and-other-insanely-successful-people-wear-the-same-thing-every-day-and-for-good-reason\/#vjOZuEP.duqG\">successful people wear the same thing every day.<\/a> And Zuckerberg, whose net worth exceeds $46 billion,\u00a0is certainly successful.<\/p>\n<p>So where do you stand?
