Why are tech billionaires preparing for the end?

From Hawaii to Silicon Valley, some of the world’s most powerful tech figures are preparing for the worst.

Reports reveal that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s vast 1,400-acre Hawaiian compound includes a massive underground shelter with its own food and energy systems.

Similar stories have emerged about other tech leaders like LinkedIn’s Reid Hoffman, who has described “apocalypse insurance,” and OpenAI’s Ilya Sutskever, who reportedly joked about building a bunker before releasing advanced artificial intelligence.

Their actions raise questions about whether they’re simply protecting assets or truly bracing for potential global crises — from AI gone rogue to climate disasters or geopolitical instability.

As governments rush to regulate artificial intelligence and mitigate risks, unease grows about why those leading the digital revolution appear to be hedging their bets underground.

Whether it’s paranoia, precaution, or privilege, the bunker boom among tech elites is revealing a new side of Silicon Valley — one that’s less about innovation and more about survival.
