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.

See Eric Garcetti in LA, who manages to be Italian, Mexican, and Jewish at the same time.
Zuck zucks.
He looks like a chronic masturbator. Colorado has its version of Pee-Wee Herman, too, in Governor Chickenpooper (John Hickenlooper). Neither has a chance in Hell of winning a popular vote.
He has no idea how much he is hated personally, does he? And no idea how fast Facebook will die -when- a new platform arrives.
But, what about a white woman? Not Hillary, of course, but a charismatic, attractive white woman? <<<
There’s no such thing. Everybody knows that conservatives are better looking! ;-D
“recited lines from the movie Troy”
LMAO
Lamest thing ever.
[ They say the 32-year-old is naturally drawn to leadership, with the phrase ‘he wants to be emperor’ apparently ‘common’ among his peers. ]
Besides, he’s gotten some really high scores on Forge of Empires. /s
If the film “The Social Network” is indicative of Zuckerberg, believe me, you do NOT want him in power.
I think you’re right. In fact I’m sure you are. That is his kingdom and I do not see him letting that go. After all, what if he were to lose in his Presidential bid?
The Greek legend I am reminded of in this case goes something like “I am Ozymandias, king of kings...”
Zuke is a liberal azzhat!
>See Eric Garcetti in LA, who manages to be Italian, Mexican, and Jewish at the same time.
Romanized name that can be mistaken for all 3. Mexican’s tend to vote by Spanish looking someone’s name is. Zuckerberg can’t pull off that trick.
Zuck hates that movie, because it provides a real portrait of his life at the time..
Well, we had close to 50% vote Barry into office. Who says the Facebook morons wouldn’t vote Zuckie into office? Sounds plausible to me.
I wish him the best of luck in getting the Democratic Party nomination for President. I would love to see President Trump crush him.

I think he’s a worm.
president zuckerberg yeah its got a real ring to it................NOT!
Still a dweeb, Zuck.
I see Zuckerberg as little more than a thief.
He has stolen his ideas and code from the work of others and not credited them.
His software platform is a sewer and serves no valuable purpose. It doesn’t drain, and the effluent volume grows.
