Seriously, this guy has gone from being public enemy number one for conservatives to suddenly cozying up to President Trump. It’s like watching a reality TV show unfold—except it’s real life, and it’s pretty wild.
So here’s the scoop: after years of Meta playing the censorship game, Zuckerberg is making some major changes in his lineup. The biggest news? Nick Clegg, Meta’s president for global affairs and a key player in their anti-Trump strategy, is out. And who steps in? Joel Kaplan—yep, you guessed it—a former deputy chief of staff under George W. Bush. Talk about a plot twist! According to [Libs of TikTok]
Kaplan has been a staunch opponent of the very censorship policies Clegg championed. This isn’t just a shake-up; it feels like a strategic play to win back conservative hearts.
Let’s look at the timing—this all goes down just three weeks before Trump’s big day in office. Perfectly calculated if you ask me. Zuckerberg’s even been seen dining with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and threw down $1 million for Trump’s inauguration fund! I mean, wow! For someone who once said he’d “jail” Zuck over social media issues, this is quite the turnaround.
Now let’s talk about Meta’s new crew—it reads like a conservative dream team. Alongside Kaplan, there’s Kevin Martin, an ex-FCC appointee under Bush taking on global public policy duties now. And don’t forget Jennifer Newstead, who was Trump’s legal adviser at State Department—she’s still kicking around too! It seems like Zuck is really trying to send a message: “Hey folks, we’re not so bad!”
But wait—there’s more! Zuckerberg hasn’t just changed faces; he’s also started singing praises for Trump himself! He called Trump’s response during that assassination attempt “one of the most bada** things” he’s ever witnessed. Can you believe that? That feels like lightyears away from when he was funding liberal causes and slapping warnings on conservative posts.
But here’s the kicker: will conservatives actually buy this new act? After years of feeling sidelined and censored by Meta (and let’s be real—the damage done here isn’t easy to fix), it might take more than fancy dinners and personnel shuffles to win back their trust.
So what do you think? Is Zuckerberg really trying to turn over a new leaf or is this just another PR stunt from Silicon Valley? Either way, it’s going to be interesting watching how this unfolds as we head into 2025. Buckle up; it looks like we’re in for quite a ride!
