Panicked Mark Zuckerberg Sacks Meta’s Left-Wing Executive Nick Clegg, Replaces Him With Republican Joel Kaplan

Mark Zuckerberg is working hard to improve his reputation with Donald Trump and his supporters. Nick Clegg, who led global affairs at Meta and enforced strict censorship against Trump and the MAGA movement, is leaving the company. He will be replaced by Joel Kaplan, a Republican who opposed limits on political speech and worked under George W. Bush. This change comes as U. S. companies are shifting their stance to align more with Republicans ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

Meta has recently adjusted its political strategy to suit a Republican Congress. Key figures include Kevin Martin, who has ties with the George W. Bush administration, and Jennifer Newstead, who served as a legal adviser in the Trump administration. Zuckerberg thanked Clegg for his work and expressed excitement for Kaplan’s leadership, highlighting Kaplan's experience in policymaking.

Additionally, there have been reports of Zuckerberg donating $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund after meeting him at Mar-a-Lago. Despite having supported liberal causes and censoring conservative views before, Zuckerberg is now distancing himself from his previous left-leaning actions. In a previous interview, Zuckerberg praised Trump’s resilience in a tough situation, reflecting a notable change in attitude toward the former president.

Ben Kew, the article’s author, has a background in journalism and has worked for various media outlets. The article appears to detail the major changes at Meta in the context of the upcoming political landscape and Zuckerberg's efforts to seek approval from Trump and conservative audiences.
