On a nearly three-hour episode of Joe Rogan's podcast, Zuckerberg signaled optimism about what a Trump presidency means for tech businesses.

Tech and media experts told Fox News Digital that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg should be applauded for adopting a fact-checking system similar to Elon Musk's X.

Zuckerberg later became less vocally critical of Trump. Following the 2024 election, he donated $1 million to his inaugural committee and dined at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida in late November, the Associated Press reported.

The Meta mogul is making moves that could curry favor with the president-elect, ending its DEI program, bashing "legacy media" and swapping in GOP-friendly lobbyists.

All these moves indicate a rightward shift for Meta, as Zuckerberg joins the other leaders of Big Tech trying to curry favor with the president-elect and his cohort. A more free-speech-friendly Facebook and Instagram could significantly change the ethos of the digital world, but for now, Meta's actions are stirring up plenty of discourse.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's political shift to the right ahead of the new Trump administration was months in the making.

While campaigning for Donald Trump in October, Elon Musk claimed he could slash “at least $2 trillion” in government spending. Now that Musk has started laying the groundwork for his so-called “Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE, he’s not as confident.

The fact-check change came alongside a set of sweeping policy and staffing refreshes at Meta, including the appointment of Trump ally Joel Kaplan to helm the Facebook parent company's policy department. NBC News reports that the company also changed its hate speech rules on the platform, now allowing users to call LGBTQ+ people mentally ill.

Politics and culture thus constitute something of a two-way street: Each is both downstream and upstream of the other. Both politics and culture are crucially important, and each of them greatly affects the other.
