Meta employees call Mark Zuckerberg “the Eye of Sauron” and he likes it (interestingengineering.com)

For those unfamiliar with the ‘Lord of the Rings” books and movies, the Eye of Sauron is the chief antagonist in the series, exemplified as a flaming eye and that is a metaphor for pure evil. It’s not something anyone would want to be compared to unless, of course, you are Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

During a recent interview with author and podcast host Tim Ferriss, the tech billionaire revealed that his employees refer to him as the Eye of Sauron and that he quite likes the comparison.
