Joe Rogan Challenges Mark Zuckerberg Nuclear Bunker Speculation

[Social Media]

 

Joe Rogan has recently addressed the growing speculation that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has constructed a nuclear bunker to protect himself in the event of a nuclear war. This theory, fueled by international tensions and unverified reports over the past few decades, suggests that public figures have built secret bunkers for safety against potential nuclear strikes. Rogan discussed this topic on his podcast with investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen, who has written extensively on the subject in her latest book, "Nuclear War: A Scenario."

 

During the podcast, Jacobsen shared alarming insights from her book, which includes interviews with various defense officials. According to her research, the outcome of a nuclear war would be catastrophic, with an estimated 5 billion people dead within 72 minutes. She emphasized that once a nuclear war begins, it rapidly escalates into a nuclear holocaust, leaving no time for anyone to retreat to a bunker. Jacobsen said, "If nuclear war begins, it doesn't end until there is a nuclear holocaust. And it happens so fast—there is no quickly going to your secret bunker you have."

 

Rogan expressed his skepticism about the effectiveness of such bunkers, particularly the one allegedly built by Zuckerberg. He dismissed the idea, saying, "Yeah, all that's nonsense. These people think, like, Zuckerberg is building a bunker in Hawaii [and] he's going to survive. He's building a hurricane shelter that might not work." Jacobsen agreed, noting that unless Zuckerberg was in the bunker at the exact moment of the nuclear attack, it wouldn't serve its purpose. "And also, unless he happened to be there in the exact moment when all of this went down..." she added.

 

Rogan highlighted the impracticality and fear associated with these doomsday preparations, noting that one would have to know in advance about the imminent launch of a nuclear strike to make use of such a bunker. He described the whole scenario as terrifying. In December, Wired published a report claiming that Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, were planning to build a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter on their Hawaii ranch. This shelter would be equipped with its own energy and food supplies and be part of their 1,400-acre Ko'olau Ranch on the island of Kauai. The planning documents reviewed by Wired indicated that the ranch would also feature more than a dozen buildings, including at least 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms, two mansions, and 11 tree houses.

 

However, the intended use of the bunker was not explicitly stated at the time of the investigative article's publication. Brandi Hoffine Barr, a spokesperson for Zuckerberg and Chan, clarified that Kauai County encourages homeowners to build shelters, offering tax breaks for constructing hurricane-resistant safe rooms. She stated, "Mark and Priscilla value the time their family spends at Ko'olau Ranch and in the local community, and are committed to preserving the ranch's natural beauty." According to Hoffine Barr, there were initial plans to build 80 luxury homes on the property before the couple purchased it, but they are now developing on less than one percent of that land, dedicating the remainder to farming, ranching, conservation, and wildlife preservation.

 

This debate over nuclear bunkers comes amidst data from the Federation of American Scientists, which shows that Russia currently has the most nuclear warheads globally, with 5,977, while the U.S. possesses 5,428. The Federation also reports that of the world's 12,700 nuclear warheads, more than 9,400 are in military stockpiles for use by missiles, aircraft, ships, and submarines. As these statistics highlight the ongoing nuclear threat, the conversation about the practicality and morality of doomsday bunkers for the elite remains a contentious topic.

The world has gone mad , definitely .

Not need to be a ' doomsday prophet ' to see that the future is dystopian .

Older posters here, or people with older parents, know all you really need in the event of a nuclear holocaust is your school desk.

 

BTW, Ms Jacobsen's book is both expert and scary as hell. She writes of the vortex created by the explosion of a hydrogen bomb, noting that a person 40 miles away would be sucked up in it like in a tornado.

 

By next January, we will have two world leaders crazy enough to bring about nuclear holocaust. Don't put off doing soon what you might never be able to do.

 

(According to Gen Milley, one previous world leader wanted to nuke China after he lost the 2020 election, hoping a State of Emergency would allow him to remain in power. The former leader subsequently said Gen Milley should be executed for treason because Gen Milley told his Chinese counterpart the DoD would prevent the former leader from doing it. Gen Milley, then-SecDef Esper, and DCI Gina Haspel teamed up to prevent anything like that. Then-VP Pence even spoke with those folks to discuss invoking the 25th Amendment, but Gen Milley assured Pence things were under control. Gina Haspel has gone quietly into retirement, but I know whom she is NOT voting for in November, based on her direct personal experience.)

 

Go hug your kids.

We have that now.

How do you build a secret nuclear bunker?  Unless he went into his basement and single handedly dug it out, disposing of the dirt by letting it run out of his trouser leg as he went for walks, there would be numerous construction workers involved who surely would have some inkling that the "wine cellar" they were building was surprisingly well armoured.  He could have emulated tyrants from history by killing everyone who worked on it - which I wouldn't put past Zuckerberg, but I can't even dig a hole to plant a tree in my garden without the whole town knowing about it.

In any case, what would be the point of Zuckerberg building a nuclear shelter?  He looks like the type of organism that would survive a nuclear war anyway.

Maybe he has made three, called Tom, Dick and Harry.

Tom, Dick and Sally. 

 

He wanted to get the acronym right.

What a wonderful idea to build a nuclear "bunker" that large.

 

The problems that I can see with that plan are basic and simple.

 

How much food would you need to store for up to 30 families and for how many years would you need to store it, 1, 2, 3, 4 or even 5 years?

 

Where and how would you dispose of the trash generated?

 

Where and how much water would you need to store, and where would you dispose of it?

 

How would you supply the electricity to power it?

 

How many weapons and how much ammunition would you need to defend the bunker and yourselves in the aftermath?

 

How would you know when it is safe to leave the bunker?

 

When you finally come out, where would you find food, water, clothes, even other people etc?

 

Assuming that you do come out, and there are things to buy, (unlikely I know), how could you pay for it?
