I bet he just wanted to slip a listening device into their homes to hear what they say about him.

Big deal. Some tech company slipped him a bunch of earbuds to kiss his ass. One of those houses is probably full of all the free shit that corporations send him.
He could have given each neighbor a new SUV, but instead he gave them some old promotional earbuds from some Facebook managers' meeting.
Were I a neighbor (with a lot of money) in this situation, I think I'd be waiting until Zuck tries to use those properties, then registering my neighboring properties via overseas shell corporations and starting a Cuban Embassy infra-sound attack regime, right up to the limits of what's legally "acceptable" for construction noise limits - shutting it off as the cops approach the neighborhood, then restarting it at random times every day for as long as this construction is taking. When a formal complaint is filed, document return of the noise cancelling headphones as "obvious adequate relief."
What does one need 11 homes for?
I heard that he has dummy homes between his real home in order to prevent anyone with telescopes or binoculars from ever actually being able to see into his real residence. I also heard that he deliberately camouflages it in order to cover it up from satellite and aerial views.
This is the guy who absolutely wants to demolish everyone's privacy except for his own. He guards his own like his life and soul depend on it.
If you read the article, it gets into it a little bit. Demolishing the homes, building smaller homes, and primarily creating some kind of enormous underground bunker-type network.
Well you see, there are 11 days in a faceweek
Oh, I heard about faceweeks. Theyre made up of 30 ad-hours per metaday in a faceweek
One to mix the kool aid, one to serve the kool aid, nine for the kool aid servers to sleep in while preparing for the crowds coming to drink the kool aid...
These abhorrent rich are digging their bunkers as deep as they can right now folks. They are actively trying to destroy the worlds population and leave just the 2500 or so BILLIONAIRES that now live on the planet. And they know they are going to have to hide, VERY DEEP.
Pst, your blueprints, air systems, AND you private detail are compromised already. When you fucks enact your end game, you'll be reminded there is no hole deep enough to hide in.
You just couldn't be happy being rich. WE have become too much of an inconvenience to you.
Tick tock.....
This is weirdly similar in many ways to Dungeon Crawler Carl. Dwindling numbers of people, digging ever deeper... Different in most other ways, but I'm a little obsessed right now.
Destroy their oxygen intakes. Job done.
If the Hitman games taught me anything, is that a single bottle of poison (the type that you can comfortably fit in your pocket) is sufficient to kill an entire building of people if you get it into the ventilation system.
Fart into it. Make them suffer.
Maybe a more potent gas could do the trick.
Like this ?
What I would give for a movie prop tube of green pearl VX to leave around my workshop...
They made interconnected ones during covid, fallout irl. They have private islands with stem cell clinics. Adam devine talks about how he goes to one on the workaholics podcast since they give way more than the dose you can get in the US.
I legit think that is their game plan, to enact wealth based population control. Millionaires become the new working poor and billionaires become bunker lords. Everyone else just dies
Thing is, they need to bring their help and the help won't be happy if their families are left high and dry. These people are just too fucking stupid
They probably have a small group of people whom they treat very well specifically so they won't shoot them in the back once they're the only ones with the guns in post-apocalyptic world.
I suspect they have some sort of plan how to solve that conundrum. We should ask Curtis Yarvin.
Oh I am sure they planned and maybe even got the Saudis to consult. But I still think they are too stupid to realize the flaws of those plans. Even if they were as smart as they think they are, it's difficult to predict how things will work after the civilization they depend on for their power collapses. Hell, it probably doesn't matter how smart you are, such a scenario is inherently unpredictable.
But I still think they are too stupid to realize the flaws of those plans.
Blinkered I'd say. Self-obsessed. Neverending greed is a mental condition. Either way, it has very little to do with intelligence imo.

If they want to go hide in a hole, that's fine by me. It'll presumably be simple enough to just seal it up completely.
Go go gadget guillotine
Underneath the compound, Zuckerberg added 7,000 square feet of space described as “basements,” which to area residents are more akin to “bunkers” or a “billionaire’s bat cave.” Zuckerberg similarly added a 5,000-square-foot underground structure to his compound in Hawaii, which he insists is not a “doomsday bunker.”
We don't need to build guillotines this time. They're digging their own graves. Bury them and starve them in their tombs.

Well my neighbors do construction since fucking 8 in the morning and don't buy me anything so at least it's something
I rented a house with some friends while at University... come to find out, the reason the owner rented it to us was because the neighbor was doing extensive renovations for 16 months... at 12 months the landlord "let us" switch to a month to month lease, then when the renovations completed she served us notice to vacate within 3 weeks.
And they say empathy was dead.
Breaking zoning codes to build bunkers? WTF. Are the Russian Oligarchs, Chinese CCP and PLA involved in his business activities?
Totally on brand. Feels like the way he treats FB's fuckups.
This is clearly just a big "fuck you" to his neighbors since they are probably filthy rich too if they are living next to him and would not have a problem buying noise cancelling headphones.

There should be a limit on how many sq.ft of home a human can own. If not, tax the hell out of the additional sq.ft. A Family of 4 doesn't need more than 1200sq.ft of carpet area (approx 3 bedrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 living room house) and that can be done in 2 floors.
I think people shouldn't have any sq ft, just square meters
Did you mean 2200? I had a 1200sqft apartment before and that definitely couldn't fit a family
bruh 1200 sq ft of carpet area is considered as a luxurious apartment in India. you can easily fit a family of 4 people in there and a guest or 2 for a couple of days. We live in 2 bedroom 850 sqft carpet apartment which now is getting congested with 5 people.
The Romanovs fit in a room a little over 200 sqft so it can be done, just not very cozy.
We don't need to fight over little figures like this. Let's just multiply op's figures by 5. And then we can tax a lot after that, multiply that by 10 and tax more than what it's worth after that.
Problem isn't someone living in 2 bedroom per person, it's when they have multiple mansions. Or multiple "investment properties", and some of them are just empty because it's still profitable
Not trying to fight, just confused. My wife and I were in a 1800sqft townhome later on and that was like the minimum in our minds.
Sorry, I just said it in general. Most of the limits, in my opinion, should allow some wiggle room for the normal people, maybe even slightly well-off people. So that people at the bottom are not fighting with each other about the policies that are actually made for people at the top
Let them go as big as they want, but they're heavily taxed on any residence they control (it can't be "owned" because there are ways around that word) but don't live in for at least six months plus one day out of the year. Make this true for everyone. We're not telling anyone they can't have a second "vacation" house, just that it won't be cheap and certainly not profitable. Doesn't apply to multifamily rental properties of four or more units. Single family home rentals are destroyed, suddenly the market is flooded with cheap homes.
Also, we need to make it international, in that they'll be taxed at home for any residences controlled overseas. Of course, they'll hide them behind shell businesses owned through Nevis, but that's a different problem that should also be addressed.

My 1200 square foot home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, laundry, pantries, and an open kitchen, dining, and living room area. The bedrooms aren't large, but they're adequate for a family of four.
