Meta cofounder Mark Zuckerberg revealed one of the first few words he chose to teach his third child. In a free-wheeling interview, Zuckerberg said, “Our one-year-old, one of the words that we’ve chosen to teach her is what sound a bear makes. She just goes, ‘Grrr’.”
Zuckerberg then jokes, saying it’s like “such a third kid thing”. He went on to say, “First kids, it’s like I am going to teach you everything about the world. By the time you get to the third kid, it’s like one of your four pieces of knowledge to teach you what sound a bear makes.”
Zuckerberg was sharing a few fun details of his personal life during a conversation with “The Circuit” on Bloomberg Originals. He discussed his family life, lessons from the Roman Empire and how tech is changing and what it means to be human. Zuckerberg also discussed how the company’s newest AI model Llama 3.1 will shape the future of business, technology and society.
Bloomberg visited Zuckerberg’s retreat in Lake Tahoe to talk about his personal evolution as a leader, and learns how to wake surf with Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.
He told the channel that he braids Max’s, his first child, hair everyday.
When asked how he makes time for it all — the sports, the side quests to being a dad, Zuckerberg said, “I actually think that having balance between different things that your do helps make you do all the things better.”
“My parents emphasized that it’s important to do more than just academics. Like, I want our kids to be like that too. We teach them surfing, Jiujitsu and martial arts,” Zuckerberg added.
“I think they are a little young to learn how to strike, but I want to get there too,” he added.
Donald Trump hilariously shuts down claims Elon Musk could be US president — you won’t believe why!
Donald Trump, however, commended Elon Musk for doing an “amazing job”. He said, “It’s nice to have some smart people to rely on…”

US President-elect Donald Trump targeted his opponents on Sunday for saying that he “has ceded his presidency to Elon Musk.” In a speech, Trump laughed off the claims that Elon Musk would be taking the next US presidency.
“That’s not happening,” Trump said while speaking at the Turning Point USA Summit on Sunday. He joked while saying that Musk can’t be president anyway since he wasn’t born in the US.
“But no, he’s not gonna be president, that I can tell you. You know why? He can’t be because he wasn’t born in this country, hahaha,” Trump said.
Trump’s statement came days after Congressman Robert Garcia posted on X, alleging that “Donald Trump is now clearly the Vice-President”. He wrote, “Welcome to the Elon Musk presidency, where Donald Trump is now clearly the Vice-President. They want a government shutdown that would hurt millions of Americans. It’s totally insane.”
What Elon Musk said about his presidential candidature
Earlier, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk had said that he can’t be the president as, “My grandfather was American, but I was born in Africa, so I cannot be president.” He said this in response to a question about his intention to run for President in 2028.
Around October 21, Musk had said, “I don’t wanna be in politics. I wanna be clear. That is not my preference. I just like building stuff… I actually don’t like politics at all. I hate politics. But the stakes are so high here that I have had no choice but to take a stand.”
Elon Musk’s X factor and DOGE
Elon Musk is said to be the X-factor in the upcoming Donald Trump administration. The businessman has been a vocal Trump supporter and now sits at the centre of Trump’s policy universe.
President-Elect Donald Trump announced on November 13 that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.).
President-Elect Trump said, “Elon Musk has been working very hard with Vivek to eliminate hundreds of billions in waste and fraud.. We’re looking to save maybe $2T. It will have no impact on people’s livelihoods like Medicare or social security. Just waste, fraud, and abuse”.
Elon Musk had extensively campaigned for Donald Trump in the 2024 US presidential elections. Musk had earlier said he is “happy to be first buddy” to US President-elect Donald Trump. He even earned “uncle” status in the Trump family, as he increasingly spends time at Mar-a-Lago.
