The Facebook CEO has considered plans to go into government, according to court documents seen by Bloomberg.

The documents were filed as part of a shareholder lawsuit that accused the social media giant's board of failing to represent the best interests of those who hold Facebook's common stock.

The documents reportedly say Erskine Bowles, one of the Facebook board members on a special committee, was "worried that one of the concessions Zuckerberg wanted — to allow the billionaire to serve two years in government without losing control of Facebook — would look particularly irresponsible."

Business Insider's Rob Price has the full story.
