The New York Times reports that Mark Zuckerberg signaled willingness to support the Trump agenda to former Trump advisor Jason Miller, leading to Meta's focus on tech products, layoffs, and cultural changes. This shift, dubbed 'MAGAfication,' reflects a broader realignment in Big Tech towards Trump and his administration.
Zuckerberg reportedly “signaled” to Miller and other senior Trump advisers “that he would do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda,” according to the Times, and that in the coming months, his company would “focus solely on building tech products.” And as part of that shift, Zuckerberg reportedly added, Meta would soon announce layoffs and additional guidelines to “reset” the company’s culture.
While Silicon Valley has long served as a reliable stronghold for Democrats, many of its foremost leaders have lately cozied up to Trump and his administration. In addition to Zuckerberg, at least half a dozen prominent tech CEOs—including Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Sundar Pichai and OpenAI’s Sam Altman—will attend Trump’s inauguration on Monday, Axios reported.
