Zuckerberg Pushes for More Masculine Culture at Meta

Mark Zuckerberg recently expressed a desire for more 'masculine energy' at Meta during his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, suggesting that corporate culture has become 'culturally neutered.' He criticized the notion that masculinity is inherently toxic, arguing that a balance is needed and that a culture celebrating aggression can have positive outcomes. Concurrently, Meta announced significant changes to its policies, including the end of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which have been criticized for being overly focused on specific demographics. This shift comes amid concerns from advertisers about Meta's decision to replace professional fact-checkers with a community-based approach that could undermine brand safety. Critics argue that these changes could erode the progress made in content moderation and diversity within the company. The moves reflect a broader trend in corporate America toward less focus on DEI as political sentiments shift.
