I think Elon Musk of Tesla beats both Zuckerberg and Tumblr kid when it comes to real innovation, with far-reaching societal implications. It's one thing to build a social media company. It's another thing to actually start a car company from the ground up, with innovation in the fuel source, from limited, volatile oil to unlimited electricity, and the capital investments that dove all this R&D, manufacturing, and all points on the value chain. It's still early days for Tesla but what they're doing is incredible.
Its easy to run a green car company when the state of California forces your competitors to buy carbon credits from you:

BTW, I'm not against electric cars, the Tesla just seems chodish, once they start making electric Porches and Roll Royces, the Tesla will be as irrevelent as the Tucker

Tesla is switching to going more mainstream less luxury, but the tax credits certainly helps the company so does having a smart guy like Musk leading and investing in the company.
Musk is better than both Zuckerberg and Karp, not only is he doing electric cars, but he's also building infrastructure for the cars (Solarcity), and he's in space! (SpaceX). Reading Musk's story makes me seem like he's way more of a badass than Zuckerberg or Karp, afterall he was one real life figure that influenced RDJ and Jon Favreau's Tony Stark in the Iron Man films.

PayPal was also Musk's...
