During an internal meeting at Facebook this summer, CEO Mark Zuckerberg vowed to “fight” any efforts to break up his company, according to audio leaked by The Verge.

When an employee asked Zuckerberg about the rise of presidential candidates like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who has proposed breaking up Big Tech, the tech executive said he was not afraid of a “legal challenge,” according to a transcript of the leaked audio.

“I mean, if she gets elected president, then I would bet that we will have a legal challenge, and I would bet that we will win the legal challenge,” Zuckerberg said.

“And does that still suck for us?” he added. “Yeah. I mean, I don’t want to have a major lawsuit against our own government. ... But look, at the end of the day, if someone’s going to try to threaten something that existential, you go to the mat and you fight.”

In the two hours of leaked audio from a pair of employee meetings obtained by The Verge, Zuckerberg also spoke candidly about the complications around Facebook’s new digital currency, Libra, as well as why he believes it’s important for the company to work with the U.S. government to put in place some regulations.

UNLESS, Michelle steps in.

Stop or you'll make her many fans swoon and fall down in a faint. /s

Good thing we're on FR so none of that adulation stuff for her as the media will promote soon. "Next: Michelle Obama, First Lady for the Ages, soon the President who will bring Americans together again. Part IV". Barf.

Yeah - but he’ll vote for her if she is the Dem candidate....the irony never stops....

He might vote for her, but he won't spend millions of dollars on her campaign, and neither will a lot of other Silicon Valley types. While they may prefer having her over Trump, they DON'T want to lose control of the Democrat Party and get more like her winning. Two parties going populist locks them out.

One messes with their supply chain and labor pool, and the other would threaten a direct intervention/takeover.

This might be part of the reason why Trump is willing to go after Biden now... he doesn't threaten the schizophrenic "identity politics"/"New Tech money" coalition the Democrats are hobbling on.

---

Michelle has about 100 million bucks in the bank thanks to her and hubbies money laundering book deal, plus a new house on the water on Martha’s Vineyard. She’s got every socialist boot liking billionaire in the world offering up their tropical islands all around the world for her vacations on a whim and their private jets at her disposal to fly her there. Every degree and every job she’s ever gotten has been a result of affirmative action where she’s been given a meaningless task and told not to touch anything important, just being black and female WAS her job. She has no work ethic, little real education, and no inclination to take on even the most minor of tasks much less something like a presidential campaign or, God forbid, actually being president. In short, she’s lazy and isn’t going to give up the good deal she’s got going. She’s not power hungry like Hillary Clinton, she just wants to live the high life on someone else’s dime and she’s got that in spades now.

There’s no way she’s wading into the presidential race, that would require her to get up before noon.

I agree.

Michael will not run, but he is a born liar.
