In the New Yorker interview, Zuckerberg rightfully concluded that the Pax Romana "didn't come for free" and vaguely acknowledged that Augustus "had to do certain things" in order to secure the peace.

I think you nailed with the word "creepy" which can be applied to a lot of people with both elected and unelected power.

Jack at Twitter is no different.

It's also interesting to see them advocate collectivism using the argument that power has turned to greed and harmed (inequality) people all while they are consolidating power for themselves (inequality) and many admit they have to harm individuals for the greater good. They just aren't being honest about the scope or severity of that harm.

Thus it is with all great demogogues.

The one thing that gives me hope is that most of the tyrants that wannabe tyrants like Zuckboy admire, die violent deaths.

According to Wikipedia, Augustus died at the age of 75.
