Trending Now: Mark Zuckerberg still fuels bizarre reptilian robot and mind control theories – Fans React

If you’ve ever watched Mark Zuckerberg speak and thought, “Does this man even blink? Does he have a soul?”, you’re definitely not alone.

The internet has turned the Meta CEO into one of the most meme‑ified, conspiracy‑theorised humans on the planet, and we can’t blame theorists for the deep-dive.

Let’s cut right to the juicy stuff. One of the oldest Zuckerberg myths is that he’s not fully human. Seriously.

Redditors and meme‑lords alike have joked that he’s a reptilian AI hybrid who doesn’t blink properly and is secretly running Meta’s algorithms to steal your very essence every time you like a selfie.

So next time you’re doom‑scrolling at 2am remember: maybe it’s just a lizard blowing up your dopamine.

Another favourite theory goes like this: Meta isn’t just a social media company, it’s a mind‑control machine engineered by Zuckerberg to make us obsessively scroll, compare, crave validation and definitely forget what we came into the room for.

There’s no smoking gun, but hey, when internal documents show features designed to increase time spent on apps from 40 to 46 minutes a day? Suddenly, the brainwashing hypothesis doesn’t feel entirely impossible.

Then there are the retro theories about big tech domination, that Meta acquired Instagram and WhatsApp not just to expand, but to erase competition and monopolise your attention forever.

And then there’s the bunker. Oh yes, the bunker. Popular theories claim that Zuckerberg has secretly built a high‑tech underground lair somewhere remote, fully stocked with food, tech and AI surveillance tools.

The internet imagines this is where he’s planning for the apocalypse, running Meta’s algorithms from behind reinforced walls while the rest of us scroll Instagram.

Land purchases in Hawaii and Wyoming have only fuelled this theory, and memes of Zuck lurking in mysterious underground corridors are everywhere. Whether it’s for global control or just avoiding questions about Cambridge Analytica, the bunker is now a staple of Zuck conspiracy culture.

Courtroom emails revealed Zuckerberg once thought about spinning Instagram out as its own company to dodge antitrust scrutiny, which is oddly dramatic for an industry none of us can escape.

Of course, not all the weirdness comes from meme pages. Some of the most serious controversies linked to Zuckerberg have real world impact.

Meta is currently in a major Los Angeles courtroom trial where Zuckerberg himself is being grilled over whether Instagram and Facebook are designed to hook young users and harm their mental health.

Plaintiffs allege platforms were created to be addictive, contributing to anxiety, depression and other serious issues among teens. Zuckerberg denies the claims, insisting the platforms don’t intentionally target children under 13 and that Meta is committed to safety.

In the trial, jurors were shown internal documents about engagement metrics and user‑age limits that Zuckerberg says are “gut checks” rather than hard goals.

Either way, it’s the first time he’s been under oath in the US, specifically on social media’s effect on youth, a moment many commentators are calling a “Big Tobacco moment” for tech.
