Mark Zuckerberg is in panic mode following his meeting with President-elect Donald Trump, who no doubt told him to fix up if he is going to gain anything from positive from the incoming administration.

Nick Clegg, the company’s president for global affairs and former British deputy prime minister, was first to be dismissed after several years at the helm.

Clegg became one of the most aggressive instigators of the Facebook censorship regime against Trump and the MAGA movement following the January 6th protests.

He will now be replaced by Joel Kaplan, a Republican who served as White House Deputy Chief of Staff under George W. Bush.

Kaplan “has been one of the most forceful voices inside Meta against restrictions on political speech, arguing internally that such policies would disproportionately mute conservative voices,” Semafor reports.

According to the report:

The shift, three weeks before Donald Trump’s inauguration, comes as US companies are embracing the president-elect, courting his inner circle, and backing away from progressive stances many had embraced in recent years.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg — whom Trump previously threatened to jail — dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in November and congratulated the president-elect on his win, one of many big tech executives to do so.

Meta’s political operation is now well placed for a Republican-dominated Washington: Its just-elevated vice president of global public policy, Kevin Martin, was appointed to the Federal Communications Commission by President George W. Bush, and its general counsel, Jennifer Newstead, was the top legal adviser to the Trump State Department from 2017 until joining Meta in 2019.

Zuckerberg released a statement following Glegg’s departure:

“I’m grateful for everything you’ve done for Meta and the world these past seven years,” Zuckerberg said.

“I’ve learned so much working with you and our whole team is better for having this opportunity.

“You’ve made an important impact advancing Meta’s voice and values around the world, as well as our vision for AI and the metaverse,” he continued. You’ve also built a strong team to carry this work forward.”

“I’m excited for Joel to step into this role next given his deep experience and insight leading our policy work for many years.”

Last year, Zuckerberg donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund following their meeting at Mar-a-Lago.

He is now scrambling to distance himself from his past left-wing advocacy.

In another tell tale sign Zuckerberg was shifting political alignment, he admitted that Trump’s fearless response to his assassination attempt was one of the most “badass” things he had ever seen.

“Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said at the time.

“On some level as an American, it’s like hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that that’s why a lot of people like the guy,” he continued.
