The video shows a regular dorm room with a little desk placed against the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mark Zuckerberg visits the Harvard dorm room where he started Facebook (2017). <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZHLuHUPy4q\">pic.twitter.com\/ZHLuHUPy4q<\/a><\/p>&mdash; mitsuri (@0xmitsurii) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/0xmitsurii\/status\/1965688730146255164?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 10, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And this is where I programmed Facebook,&#8221; he says. &#8220;It took me about two weeks to program the code. The first version of this very simple version that I launched in February of 2004. And this is kind of where it happened,&#8221; he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zuckerberg had come up with the idea for Facebook while at Harvard. Once Facebook had taken off, he&#8217;d dropped out of Harvard, and focused on building it full-time. Facebook was a massive success, and turned Zuckerberg into one of the world&#8217;s youngest billionaires. Now twenty one years after he&#8217;d coded the first version, his company has expanded beyond Facebook to include <a href=\"https:\/\/officechai.com\/stories\/meta-to-introduce-ai-users-in-its-platforms-which-will-like-share-content-like-human-users\/\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/officechai.com\/startups\/whatsapp-business-app\/\">WhatsApp<\/a>, and a large AI division. Meta is worth nearly $2 trillion, and Zuckerberg is currently the third richest person on the planet with a net worth of $264 billion. And it all started at the desk at the H-33 Kirkland House dorm at Harvard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta is now one of the most valuable companies in the
