MAGA Zuckerberg
Appearing on Joe Rogan is definitely how you make your enthusiastic collaboration with Trump official:
MAGA Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta announced Friday that it would be repealing all diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
An employee memo from Meta’s vice president of human resources Janelle Gale, which was obtained by Axios, announced five major changes to Meta’s “hiring, development and procurement practices,” amid the shifting “legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the United States”—i.e., the return of Donald Trump.
Gale announced that Meta would scatter its DEI team, pull the plug on its equity and inclusion programs, roll back efforts to work with diverse-owned suppliers, and scrap its representation goals and “diverse slate approach” to hiring, which ensured that a diverse pool of candidates was considered for every open position.
“We believe there are other ways to build an industry-leading workforce and leverage teams made up of world-class people from all types of backgrounds,” Gale wrote in the memo.
Gale’s memo tops off a week of disturbing developments at the company, signaling a total meltdown on the part of “Zuckerbucks,” who seems to be giving in to his anti-woke fantasies in preparation for Trump’s return to the White House later this month. He even did a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan—marking his MAGA transformation as complete.
He’s particularly receptive to the rising tide of transphobia and homophobia within the alt-right:
internally at Meta: -trans and nonbinary themes stripped from Messenger -enforcement policy now allows for the denial of trans people's existence -tampons removed from men's restrooms -DEI programs shuttered -Kaplan briefed top conservative influencers the night before policy changes were announced— kate conger (@kateconger.com) January 10, 2025 at 11:06 AM
That going to war for MAGA also means going to war with many of his employees is no coincidence either. The seeds of Facebook were creepy misogyny and he’s really embracing his roots. At least Threads will be one of the easiest boycotts in history.
