This Man is a Coward.
Mark Zuckerberg sat in the safety of his bubble this week, silent as Donald Trump dismantled and declawed the National Institutes of Health. Forty billion dollars in research funding now hangs frozen. Thousands of scientists wait in limbo. And the tech billionaire who once promised to help cure all diseases can't muster a single word of protest.
The silence tells us everything. So do the actions that preceded it. In the months since Zuckerberg's Thanksgiving meeting with Trump, the architect of the Poke has orchestrated a complete surrender of principles at Meta. He stripped away fact-checking programs. He gutted content moderation policies. He elevated Republican executives to key positions. He eliminated diversity initiatives across the company, claiming without evidence they had somehow worked "too well" - even as men continue to outnumber women at Meta by two to one.
Watch how quickly he moves when Trump demands change. Special rules for Trump's social media posts? Done. A warm welcome back to Meta's platforms? Arranged immediately. The dismantling of years of protective policies? Executed within weeks. Zuckerberg transforms himself with each passing month, molding himself into whatever shape he thinks will please his new master. The awkward coding prodigy now struts around as a cage-fighting, wild-pig-hunting warrior philosopher, spouting tired talking points about "masculine virtues" on Joe Rogan's podcast.
