The important piece to note, which Zuckerberg may or may not understand, is that the UBI should be accompanied by the elimination of the rest of the welfare state (yes, all of it, including minimum wage). Combined with requiring people to be US citizens for 18 years before qualifying should eliminate most of the qualms critics have with the idea. Overall, I don't think the tax burden is significant for a minimalist UBI, because the savings from eliminating our current welfare state full of mal-incentives will increase productivity.
