Two weeks ahead of the inauguration, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg named President-elect Donald Trump ally and UFC boss Dana White to its board of directors.
Zuckerberg also pulled a page from Trump ally Elon Musk, turning over content moderation to users and loosening restrictions on hate speech on his company's social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Threads.
Just days earlier, Meta elevated prominent Republican Joel Kaplan to lead its global affairs operation, after having served as a longtime executive at the tech giant. As part of the rollout, Kaplan touted the changes to Meta platforms on Fox News. “It feels like we’re in a new era now,” Zuckerberg said, framing the shift as a return to the company’s roots around free expression.

Investigators have discovered that the solider who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside of a Trump hotel on January 1 used the generative AI chatbot, ChatGPT, to plan the attack. Las Vegas police on Tuesday said that Matthew Livelsberger used ChatGPT to get more information.
While his phone, laptop, and watch are still being looked into, it’s now come out that the veteran used OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot to gauge how fast ammunition would go, as well as whether fireworks were legal in Arizona. Livelsberger shot himself before the Cybertruck exploded, with his generative AI-planned attack dubbed a “game changer” by Las Vegas sheriff, Kevin McMahill.
