Other cute names Meta employees have for Mark ‘Eye of Sauron’ Zuckerberg

IT’S LOVING, OKAY????

Mark ‘Hannibal Lector’ Zuckerberg

Think this is comparing him to a notorious serial killer and cannibal? NO. WRONG. It’s because no problem is too big for him to eat.

Mark ‘Cruella De Vil’ Zuckerberg

Let’s be frank: all of us want a suit made out of animal skin. Ideally, we’d go a step further and want one made from human flesh.

But, just like Zuckerberg, we know that, as homo sapiens ourselves, such a move would be wrong. Totally wrong. Not justifiable at all. Not even a bit. A teensy-weensy little bit.

Anyway, Facebook/Meta employees don’t call him Cruella because of his crueltyorhis penchant for wearing the dead flesh of his enemies. Really, it’s because he’s a little bit of a fashion icon around the offices. And with that haircut, who could blame them?

Mark ‘Freddy Krueger’ Zuckerberg

There’s no evidence that Mark Zuckerberg enters people’s dreams and slaughters them mercilessly with his knife hands.

Instead, Facebook/Meta employees call him Freddy Krueger because he has his fingers in a lot of pies, and looks great in a fedora.

Mark ‘The Devil’ Zuckerberg

Uhhhh, it’s because of his… musical talent? And… the devil was an angel once too, right? It’s a compliment. It’s the best compliment. The best compliment ever. Prove that it’s not. Go on, prove it. If Zuck says it’s a compliment, then it’s a compliment. A good thing. Being called the devil is a good thing. A compliment. The finest compliment.

There we have it people! Four nicknames that Facebook and Meta employees totally, 100% use for Mark Zuckerberg* that are actually super positive and cute.

*not a real fact
