No shit sherlock. Now the question is, are you going to be actually neutral or "Musk neutral" and just cater to the new guy in power?


There's nothing complex about Zuckerberg's statement.

He along with other US companies is "adapting" to the new reality that starts on 20th - so yeah, catering to the new guy. Hell, it's not just the corporate world - politicians in the western world also enabled "pampering" mode because they do remember with whom had to deal with last time.

I saw politicians in my country doing weird "acrobatics" which contradict what they were saying few weeks ago as well.


Cater to the new guy in power. Zuckerberg has already been doing this for decades.


> Cater to the new guy in power.

Yeah, Zuckerberg is bending the knee so he can stay out of negative news and keep his fortune.

> Zuckerberg has already been doing this for decades.

Not really. He didn't bend the knee to Trump as much in the first term, and Trump remembered that: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/28/trump-zuckerberg-el...


He is very well known for bending for Xi though


I've seen it suggested that Zuckerberg was forced into kicking against Trump 1.0 because of activist employees and a difficult recruitment market. After the layoffs and the reduced competition for decent tech professionals, he can return to the more neutral position he favors.


It’s already well documented that he “bent the knee” to Biden, so you can argue about the extent but the pattern is pretty well established.


There's no neutrality against fascism.


They are aiming at profits.


I think that question is going to be very easy to answer.
