He just keeps making extreme decision after extreme decision - seems like he's trying to become Elon?
- No more fact checking - Throws a bunch of former colleagues and biden admin under the bus - Says we all need more 'masculine energy' at work - Announces he's about to fire thousands of people who are 'bad at their jobs' - The chain (!?) It's such a dramatic rebrand and carries such a big risk of aging extremely poorly very fast. I get that Elon is like this - but Elon has always been like this. What is in it for zuck??? Is this some kind of midlife crisis? |

| Possibly a divorce? Questionable that his wife is not co-hosting his inaugural party for Trump. But then I’ve always found him unbearable and can’t imagine how she’s dealt with him this far. Perhaps she agrees he needs more “masculine energy” |

| Yes I was wondering about this too, it’s such an extreme change. |

| He’s pandering to Trump. As is Bezos. Isn’t that obvious? |

Everyone is noticing.
Check this out, which puts its finger on just how cringe Zuckerberg and Musk are. “I knew that one day we might have to watch as capitalism and greed and bigotry led to a world where powerful men, deserving or not, would burn it all down. What I didn’t expect, and don’t think I could have foreseen, is how incredibly cringe it would all be. I have been prepared for evil, for greed, for cruelty, for injustice – but I did not anticipate that the people in power would also be such huge losers.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/16/i-knew-one-day-id-have-to-watch-powerful-men-burn-the-world-down-i-just-didnt-expect-them-to-be-such-losers |

The article below may explain some of it. My personal explanation is that Trump's embrace of these tech bros/oligarchs has unleashed their barely-simmering rivalries and now they're jostling for even more power (and money).

+1 This isn't some huge mystery. |

| Read Kara Swisher’s book. These are not normal people. Very low emotional intelligence. They don’t care about America. They care about a tech utopia and are in constant dick measuring contest. Also, Zuckerberg ‘s motivation for Facebook was stalking women and he stole it from the Winklevosses. In general, billionaires are sociopaths who got to where they are by walking all over people. Billionaires are nerds and have even more to prove. |

I think the concern over the “fact-checkers” is overblown. Previously saying things like sex is immutable could get your account banned. That’s not fact-checking, that’s protecting a viewpoint. They were told by the Biden administration what speech to allow and disallow. That’s problematic.
I think he’s exhaling again after being under threat by the previous administration. |

And yet MAGA worship billionaires. As if virtual proximity to them via their association with Trump is going to rub off on them... |

| Real Zuck is morphing into the Social Network a-hole Zuckerberg. Maybe he always was? |

Maybe you are so extreme, you perceive everyone who doesn't agree with your political stance as extreme? |

What people strangely fail to understand about billionaires is that every single one of them, by definition, has a mental disorder that compels them to continually amass more money by any means necessary, and they will disregard all morality to do it.
Here's a little thought exercise: if you won the lottery, what is the lowest jackpot amount you could win where you would quit your job? Ten million? A hundred million? A billion? If you answered literally any number, congratulations, you're not the type of sociopath that becomes a billionaire. Every normal person has an amount of money that makes them say "ok that's plenty to do what I need to do in my life." Whether that's travelling the world in luxury, funding charity causes, or building the world's biggest ball of twine, it doesn't matter because you have shown there is some amount of money that will satisfy you. Billionaires do not have a number that will satisfy them. If they did, they would have stopped before they reached the level of Elon Musk or Peter Thiel where it is literally impossible for them to spend it all in their lifetime even if they tried. Because there is no number that will satisfy them, they are compelled to keep growing their wealth by any means necessary. It is a legitimate addiction, and much like how a heroin addict will do absolutely anything to get their next fix, so will a billionaire to get their next billion, and they don't care how many lives they have to ruin to get it. Zuckerberg didn't change, this is who he always was, a money junkie desperate to obtain more by any means necessary. Previously he believed that putting on a liberal persona was the best path to the biggest fix, so that's the way he acted, now he sees sucking up to Trump to be a more efficient means so that's what he is doing, but make no mistake - there was no shift in morals because he never had any to begin with. |
