Meta Billionaire Talks with Humor About Criticism and Reveals Interesting Details of His Personal Life
Mark Zuckerberg called himself “the weirdest person” — and revealed that a nickname circulating online for years has affected his self-confidence.
During an appearance on the *This Past Weekend* podcast, hosted by comedian Theo Von and published on Monday, the 40-year-old CEO of Meta was asked if he had ever felt socially awkward.
“No, I’m very chill,” Zuckerberg replied sarcastically.
“No, of course I am, I’m the most awkward person,” he continued. “People have been calling me ‘robot’ online for 20 years. It does wonders for my confidence.”
Von joked that Zuckerberg seemed like “a guy” who had “watched a video on how to be a ‘guy’ on YouTube or something,” causing the executive to laugh.
The comedian commented that everyone is “weird in different ways” and suggested that there must be situations where Zuckerberg would feel more comfortable.
“I haven’t found those environments yet,” Zuckerberg responded humorously.
The conversation also took a surprising turn when the billionaire confirmed that he had built an underground tunnel on his property in Hawaii — a structure that gained media attention as the alleged “Doomsday Bunker.”
“Zunkie got the bunk bed,” Von said, before listing what he would do if he had Zuckerberg’s fortune — including, ironically, an underground tunnel.
“It’s more of an underground storage situation,” Zuckerberg explained, rebutting memes suggesting he’s preparing for an apocalypse.
“It’s a good place to hide a little bit of drugs,” Von teased, commenting on the images of the property. “That’s what I’d say, man. That’s what I’d do.”
“Well, you and I disagree on that,” Zuckerberg concluded.
