A WIRED investigation just revealed Mark Zuckerberg’s years-long construction of a lavish, bunker-equipped sprawling compound in Hawaii.

The details:

The nearly completed Koolau Ranch spans 1,400 acres with over a dozen buildings, 30 bedrooms, off-grid power and food, helipads and underground bunkers with blast-resistant doors.

Costs eclipse $270 million — with reports of extreme NDAs muzzling hundreds of workers, lawsuits targeting landholders, and Zuckerberg reps allegedly clashing with press.

Political ties abound as the Chan/Zuckerberg donations flow, including hiring a former council chair and funding a former vice chair’s nonprofit.

While tech entrepreneurs have a history of doomsday prepping, Zuck sounds like he’s taking this Hawaiian hideaway to the next level.

    Boston Dynamic dogs, Tesla Optimus, and so on. Why pay humans if you can automate them and have drones do all those tasks for you.

          Yes but every system is bound to fail. If you depend on robots for maintenance and their auto maintenance breaks, you are in a lot of trouble.

            It’s a system you don’t have to pay and won’t revolt. You still aren’t getting what we are saying.
