No, Mr. Zuckerberg

It appears that Mark Zuckerberg's employees in the hive of villainy formerly known as Facebook have "Eye of Sauron", and he thinks this is a sign of affection for him and his management style.

I would pay good money to explain to him how this is not the case:

Mark Zuckerberg hasn’t always had a squeaky-clean reputation, and the Facebook/Meta founder and CEO has accrued a slew of less-than-flattering nicknames throughout his career. But during his recent appearance on The Tim Ferriss Show, he shared a particularly eyebrow-raising label given to him by his own employees: The Eye of Sauron.

Zuckerberg brought up the moniker after he and Ferriss began discussing how he manages his energy in the workplace while constantly being barraged with news and information. “Maybe I’m not strong-willed enough or calm enough to do just straight-up meditation,” Zuck said. “I actually need to put myself in a situation where it’s difficult to not focus on that thing.”

He continued: “Some of the folks I work with at the company — they say this lovingly — but I think that they sometimes refer to my attention as the Eye of Sauron. You have this unending amount of energy to go work on something, and if you point that at any given team, you will just burn them.”

I'm beginning to think that the sort of people who become billionaires are almost universally narcissistic delusional psychopaths.

I am not sure if this is because this sort of compulsive accumulation of wealth an power requires this, or if it is because once they achieve this level of power, they are surrounded by sycophants who put them in a bubble which encourages these delusions.

It's probably a bit of both.
