Facebook insiders have told how Mark Zuckerberg quotes Greek legends to staff and 'wants to be emperor'. In the latest indicator that he may one day run for president, Vanity Fair quotes several friends of the CEO who say he is well suited to politics and has designs for a career beyond Silicon Valley.
They say the 32-year-old is naturally drawn to leadership, with the phrase 'he wants to be emperor' apparently 'common' among his peers.
'He’s been incredibly careful about cultivating a specific type of persona over the past few years,' said one friend, suggesting Zuckerberg's move into politics is in the works.
His fascination with Greek legend also seeps into his management style. Zuckerberg is said to have once recited lines from the movie Troy to a packed room of Facebook staff.
When new employees ask why they should join the company, he apparently urges staff to tell them: 'Because people will remember your name.'
While Zuckerberg has yet to make any statement suggesting he will run for office, friends said he would most likely make a bid in 2024 when he is 40. Earlier this year, Zuckerberg fuelled rumors he was plotting a political bid when he vowed to visit every state in the US.
Announcing his New Year's resolution on his Facebook page, he said: ' My personal challenge for 2017 is to have visited and met people in every state in the US by the end of the year.

Who would know enough about him to know? What I know I find him just another lefty.
Well he’s got personal data on many Americans if he thinks he can blackmail them into support...

B U R N
President of what?
I don’t favor left-wing billionaires in the White House.
He will never run once he finds out he’ll have to divest himself of all interest in Facebook.
I hope this rich LIB potential “emperor” seeks mental health help. His delusions are growing.
He’s just a legend in their little snowflake dreams/heads.
Ummmm no.
Emperor is different from President.
Of course he really wouldn’t know that because 1/4 of his life was spent under an Emperor
Zuckerberg’s pajama-boy face screams out, “Give me a wedgie!”
Vanity Fair quotes several friends of the CEO who say he is well suited to politics and has designs for a career beyond Silicon Valley.
What? No comments about he's never held office and isn't prepared? No comments about an international crisis if he's elected? No comments about how racist he is because his skin is White? No comments about minorities, women, children...? No golden showers mentioned? No references to Hitler and the KKK?
What a bunch of mindless drivel...
Well sure, if Barack can do it, not to mention Mr. Trump, why not? Give it a whirl, son.
I don’t think so. Americans are going to need a couple decades to recover from the FN idiot we’ve had in the White House for the past eight years before we allow another one in.
Nothing will make that geek President of the United States.
Ted Cruz wanted to be emperor too.
he was such a creep in that facebook movie, the wife is feeding his delusions to just get him out of the house...
Exactly!
Oh please, please, PLEEEAASEEE ... run in the 2020 ‘RAT primary and win the nomination. PLEEEEAASEE ...MAKE OUR DAY!
