What the hell do you do when you're in conflict with a US president?!
Have you ever wondered what genius looks like at its best?
What does checkmate look like in the real world?
Pay attention to the most sophisticated maneuver in business history: the move Zuckerberg made last night against Trump, just before he assumes the presidency. This is one of the most brilliant moves ever made in the business world!
Well, it's no secret that Zuckerberg is in conflict with Trump.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he even stars on Trump's 'condemned to revenge' list after Iran, as the one responsible for messing up Trump's second presidential career, which he eagerly anticipated, when ultimately, Biden was crowned US president instead.
The background to the conflict: Between 2016 and 2021, Facebook consistently censored Trump to pave the way for Biden, something that greatly harmed Trump. And Trump, being Trump, a shrewd businessman, no fool, but above all, anyone who knows Trump knows he is super vengeful!
And Zuckerberg knows that!
But now Trump has been elected president and his score with Zuckerberg from 2016 remains unsettled. And Zuckerberg? He's directly in the crosshairs!
Zuckerberg is not stupid. He knows Trump well and he knows that no matter how many tens of millions of dollars he donates to Trump, he will always star on Trump's 'condemned to revenge' list for the censorship he imposed on Trump on Facebook between 2016-2021.
What the hell do you do now?!
Do you know who serves as Trump's listening ear?
Do you know who Trump's baby boy is?
Do you know who is on Trump's speed dial?
Dana White!
Dana White, the CEO of UFC, is Trump's senior confidant for many years and his good friend... too good?
Zuckerberg knows that.
Zuckerberg is going to play exactly on that. He knows exactly how close Dana White is to Trump.
So what does Zuckerberg do?
Zuckerberg takes Dana White, prepares a fat salary contract for him, and signs him last night, at midnight, as a new senior director on Meta's board of directors!
Now that Trump's good friend is on Meta's most senior board of directors, Zuckerberg can be calm. He bought himself peace.
In fact, Zuckerberg not only bought himself peace, he also bought himself a front-row seat in the White House!
And that, friends, is checkmate!
