Meta billionaire Mark Zuckerberg called himself the “most awkward person” – and admitted there’s one name particularly the web has tagged him with that has hurt his confidence.
Zuckerberg, 40, made the frank admission during an appearance on comedian Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast that was published on Monday after the host asked whether he had “ever felt socially awkward.”
“No, I’m really smooth,” Zuckerberg sarcastically replied.
“No, obviously, yes, I’m like essentially the most awkward person,” Zuckerberg added. “People have been calling me a ‘robot’ online for 20 years. It does wonders for my confidence.”
Von replied by joking that Zuckerberg looked like “a man” who had “watched a video on learn how to be a ‘guy’ on YouTube or something,” drawing amusing from the Meta CEO.
The comedian said that folks are “all awkward in alternative ways” and suggested there have to be environments where Zuckerberg will not be awkward in any respect.
“I haven’t found those environments yet,” Zuckerberg joked.
The billionaire also surprised Von when he admitted to constructing an underground tunnel in Hawaii, which media reports known as a “Doomsday bunker.”
“Zunkie got the bunky,” Von said, before listing off the things he would do as a billionaire, which sarcastically happened to incorporate constructing an underground tunnel.
“It’s more of an underground storage situation,” Zuckerberg said, hitting back against “memes” suggesting he was constructing a “bunker.”
“It’s a great place to cover just a little little bit of dope,” Von said, as he marvelled at images of Zuckerberg’s property. “That’s what I might say, dude. That’s what I might do.”
“Well, you and I differ,” Zuckerberg said.
