Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg blamed former lieutenant Sheryl Sandberg for pushing ‘inclusivity initiative’ in meeting with Trump aides: report
New York Post ^ | Jan. 17, 2025 | Ariel Zilber

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly trash-talked his former top lieutenant Sheryl Sandberg during his visit to Mar-a-Lago, blaming her for implementing controversial DEI initiatives at Facebook that “encouraged employees’ self-expression in the workplace.”

Zuckerberg, who has drawn criticism for cozying up to the new administration, made the comment during a sit-down with President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers at his Florida retreat shortly after the Republican’s historic election victory in November, according to the New York Times.

The discussions on Nov. 27 — which included Stephen Miller, who will take over as White House deputy chief of staff — covered a range of hot-button topics such as the administration’s expected crackdown on immigration, and diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the Times reported.

Miller told Zuckerberg that the billionaire mogul had “an opportunity to help reform America, but it would be on Trump’s terms,” according to the Times.

The 40-year-old tech tycoon was “amenable” and said he and his top executives at Meta would “do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda,” individuals familiar with the meeting told the Times.

Zuckerberg reportedly threw Sandberg under the bus for pushing the “inclusivity initiative” and said Meta would scrap its DEI policies.

“[Zuckerberg] said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming,” the Times reported, citing someone with knowledge of the meeting.

Meta, Zuckerberg insisted, would focus “solely on building tech products,” the Times reported.

I wonder if being treated for having been thrown under the bus is part of their healthcare plan.
