As Felix Salmon points out, Zuckerberg is doing just fine with giving his money away however he damn well wants to. This isn’t good enough for Jesse Eisinger, of course it isn’t.
Eisinger also points to the fact that foundations need to give away 5% of their assets each year as a good thing, complaining that Zuckerberg’s LLC won’t be subject to that constraint.
So, Eisinger. Works at ProPublica. Which is paid for by the following:

Among others that is. So, well paid lefty (and if you think he’s not a lefty then you don’t understand American journalism) leech on the charitable sector, one of those involved in the long march through the institutions, insists that other peoples’ money should not be spent as they wish, but must be lavished on the leeches in the charitable sector involved in the long march through the institutions.
The complaint is, effectively, that Zuckerberg’s money will not be spent on the Eisingers of the future.
Aww, shame.
I imagine most of it will.
Completely O/T, except insofar that it involves giving money away:

Tim, maybe your theory will get tested?
Thanks Tim – and as you seem generally reluctant (to link?):

I must have just read my 15th article on the Guardian lambasting Zuckerberg for giving away his dough. If you somehow manage to pop your head above the average, even with the best of intents – and having got fairly lucky with a single really popular website – the fuckers will have you hung.
The story would have been better if it was Jesse Eisenberg making demands on Mark Zuckerberg’s money.
