Founders, put this in your notebooks if you ever come to the situation where you ask yourself "but can I do that?". Apparently, yes, you can! [1]

Well, you can do this if you retained control from the beginning, if your company is doing great, and if your current shareholders won't revolt and drag you to court over it.

Another question that you would want to ask yourself may be "is my company worth 300+ billion dollars". To say that Facebook is "doing good" is a vast understatement, and Mark deserves much more shareholders trust than a typical founder.

Superman does good, Facebook's doing well.

Not sure if this was meant to be a grammar correction, or a statement of truth, but I read it as the latter and chuckled.
