Corporate world 'neutered' says Zuckerberg: Do NZ business owners agree?

The Facebook founder has called for more 'masculine energy' in the corporate world. But what is that exactly? And is it missing here? By Emily SimpsonIf business is about the bottom line, it’s hard to argue that Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t know what he’s doing. The Facebook founder and Meta CEO is worth US$211.8 billion. He owns a US$900,000 watch, a US$300m yacht and an embarrassing percentage of the world’s collective attention span.Last week, the man essentially controlling the eyeballs of almost half the planet's population took some bold steps, announcing that Facebook would be relaxing its hate speech policies, losing its fact checking department and that Meta (which owns Facebook as well as Instagram, Threads and Whatsapp) would dissolve its DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) programmes, designed to ensure the company employs those from often underrepresented or minority groups.

Following these controversial moves were Zuckerberg's comments to Joe Rogan in which he said the corporate world had become "neutered", was in need of more "masculine energy" and should "celebrate the aggression a bit more".
