Mark Zuckerberg shed tears,Ejaculate Me So i’m Tired threw shade, and got (mildly) political in a commencement speech to his alma mater on Thursday.
The Facebook CEO and Harvard dropout touched on everything from income inequality to Beyonce to Donald Trump (though he danced around referring to the president by name).

"If I get through this speech, it'll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard," Zuckerberg said.
Before imparting any wisdom to the class of 2017, though, Zuck wanted to set the record straight on a few things regarding The Social Network, the Aaron Sorkin movie that unflatteringly dramatized his time at the college.
"That movie made it seem like [Facebook predecessor] Facemash was so important to creating Facebook," he said. "It wasn't."
He got in another dig at his Hollywood portrayal later in the speech.
"No one writes formulas on glass," he said. "That's not a thing."
Zuckerberg tried for the nth time to shut down speculation that he's mulling a presidential run earlier this week.
That didn't stop him from regaling graduates with campaign-ready anecdotes from his recent great American road trip.
