Mark Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan that he believes corporate culture should 'celebrate aggression a bit more' and lamented the trend of companies distancing themselves from 'masculine energy'. Zuckerberg also criticized the Biden administration's handling of Covid-19 content moderation on Meta's platforms.
Mark Zuckerberg has told podcaster Joe Rogan that it’s good if a culture “celebrates the aggression a bit more”.lamented the rise of “culturally neutered” companies that have sought to distance themselves from “masculine energy”, adding that it’s good if a culture “celebrates the aggression a bit more”.
“It’s like you want feminine energy, you want masculine energy,” Zuckerberg said. “I think that that’s all good. But I do think the corporate culture sort of had swung towards being this somewhat more neutered thing,” he added, before discussing his passions for mixed martial arts and hunting invasive pigs in Hawaii.
The podcast episode was released just days after Meta loosened its content moderation policies for Instagram and Facebook to allow more leniency for users criticising immigrants, transgender and nonbinary people, or making exclusionary statements based on someone’s sex or gender. On Tuesday, Meta also announced the end of third-party fact-checking in the US, and on Friday, the company said it was halting many of its internal training and hiring efforts aimed at making its workforce more diverse.
Since the US election, Zuckerberg has sought to align himself with the incoming administration — praising Trump publicly, donating to his inaugural fund, appointing a key supporter to Meta’s board and most recently changing his platforms’ content policies.Zuckerberg criticised the Biden administration during the Rogan interview, claiming White House officials would “scream” and “curse” at Meta employees amid discussions about how to moderate content related to Covid-19 during the pandemic.
