Mark Zuckerberg Begins New Chapter as Trump Takes Office in 2025

San Francisco: So, it looks like Mark Zuckerberg is shaking things up at Meta as we kick off 2025. He’s made some pretty big changes, like ending third-party fact-checking and cutting back on diversity initiatives. It’s like he’s stepping into a new role, and some are calling it Zuckerberg 3.0, especially with Trump back in the spotlight.

Zuckerberg has always been a bit of a chameleon in the tech world, but this time, he seems to be channeling some of that “masculine energy” he talked about on Joe Rogan’s podcast. He’s not just changing policies; he’s also changing the vibe at Meta. He’s even brought in Dana White from the UFC, who’s tight with Trump, to join the board.

The decision to ditch fact-checking has raised eyebrows, with critics saying it could lead to more hate speech online. But Zuckerberg seems unfazed, claiming it’s about prioritizing free speech. He’s also faced backlash from his own employees over the cuts to diversity programs, with many feeling it’s a step backward.

Still, some folks are backing him up, saying it’s about time Meta took a different approach. It’s a mixed bag of reactions, but one thing’s for sure: Zuckerberg is ready to make waves in this new era.
