Mark Zuckerberg’s shirt says ‘All Zuck or All Nothing’ in Latin

Mark Zuckerberg wore an apparently custom shirt at Meta Connect 2024. We deciphered what it means.

At the Meta Connect developers’ event, CEO Mark Zuckerberg wore a black boxy custom T-shirt with the words “AUT ZUCK AUT NIHIL.”

In Latin, this translates to “all Zuck or all nothing” — a play on the famous phrase “aut Caesar aut nihil.”

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Zuck wear this kind of shirt.

At his 40th birthday party earlier this year, he wore a black shirt with the phrase, “Carthago delenda est,” which means, “Carthage must be destroyed.” (More on the meaning of that phrase from my colleague.)

Zuckerberg has been experimenting with more flashy fashion in the past year or so (and you sickos keep encouraging him). It’s a notable departure from this former hoodie and plain-gray-tee uniform.

We know that Mark Zuckerberg is a fan of Roman history. He named his children after Roman emperors and has talked about how he’s fascinated with Roman history.
