Summary

Mark Zuckerberg’s pivot to the right has sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley. From calls for more “masculine energy” in the workplace to his rebrand as an amateur MMA aficionado. Zuck’s Trump-loving transformation has raised eyebrows across the tech world. But what does it mean for the future of Meta and the world of social media? Today in The Bunker, Alex von Tunzelmann sits down with Bloomberg’s social media correspondent Kurt Wagner to unpack the rebellion brewing inside Meta and why Zuckerberg’s new persona has staff looking to unfriend their CEO. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
