Last December, a lengthy Wired investigation said Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was in the process of building a 1,400-acre compound on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, which would include a underground shelter spanning over 5,000 square feet. That’s more than twice the size of the average private family home in the U.S.

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Zuckerberg was asked if that underground space wasn’t just a “shelter,” but rather a “doomsday bunker.”
