San Francisco: So, Mark Zuckerberg recently had a chat with Joe Rogan, and he had some pretty interesting things to say. He talked about how a lot of companies today seem to be shying away from what he calls “masculine energy.” He thinks it’s actually a good thing to celebrate that kind of energy in corporate culture.
During their nearly three-hour conversation, Zuckerberg mentioned that while it’s important to have a balance of both masculine and feminine energy, he feels like corporate culture has leaned too much toward being “culturally neutered.” He even shared his love for mixed martial arts and hunting invasive pigs in Hawaii, which is a bit of a quirky side note!
He also reflected on his upbringing, mentioning that he grew up with three sisters and has three daughters. He wants to see women thrive in the workplace, too. He pointed out that for women entering companies, the environment can feel overly masculine, and that’s something that needs to change.
In the same week, Meta, the company he leads, made some significant changes to its content moderation policies. They’re allowing more leeway for users to express opinions that might be critical of certain groups. This shift has raised eyebrows, especially since it comes right after Zuckerberg’s podcast appearance.
Interestingly, this was his second time on Rogan’s podcast, which is super popular. Zuckerberg mentioned feeling uneasy about traditional media and how podcasts are changing the game for who gets to have a voice in the conversation.
He also took a jab at the Biden administration, saying that discussions about content moderation during the pandemic were pretty intense, with officials being quite aggressive. He believes the government should support companies rather than attack them, which is a pretty bold stance.
In contrast, he seems to have a more favorable view of Trump, saying he’s optimistic about Trump’s potential return to the White House. It’s a lot to unpack, but it’s clear Zuckerberg is pushing for a shift in how companies operate and engage with both their employees and the public.
