At this point, it\u2019s pretty clear what Donald Trump<\/strong> wants from Mark Zuckerberg<\/strong>. But what does Zuckerberg, who has now gone to Mar-a-Lago<\/a> twice<\/a> since the November election, want from the President-elect?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n That\u2019s the question I\u2019ve been asking sources in and around Meta over the last several days. They all described Meta\u2019s relationship with the outgoing Biden administration as incredibly hostile. It\u2019s safe to assume that Zuckerberg wants a reset for the MAGA regime, especially since Trump threatened not that long ago to imprison him for life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In Trump\u2019s America, removing tampons from the mens\u2019 restrooms on Meta\u2019s campuses, \u2014 a real thing that just happened<\/a> \u2014 is as much a business decision as a political one. Destroying \u2018woke\u2019 ideology is a key pillar of Trump\u2019s stated mandate. Others who know they need to play the game, like Amazon<\/a>, are also starting to fall in line. Even still, Zuckerberg is transforming Meta for this new political reality at a speed that\u2019s unusual for a company of its size and influence. Founder mode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In his conversation with Joe Rogan<\/strong><\/a> and his video on Instagram<\/a>, Zuckerberg shares a laundry list of issues that Trump could help him with: fighting other countries that are ratcheting up their policing of his platforms, stopping Apple from dictating how he builds mobile apps and smart glasses (the latter is increasingly important to Meta\u2019s future), and, perhaps most importantly, keeping domestic AI regulation from slowing his efforts to crush OpenAI<\/a>. Elon Musk<\/strong> has bought Trump\u2019s ear. But the more time Zuckerberg spends in Mar-a-Lago, the more Sam Altman<\/strong> and Tim Cook <\/strong>should be worried.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
