Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has become embroiled in a series of disputes, including a failed attempt to broker a cage match with Elon Musk. The billionaire entrepreneur was interested in fighting Musk, but backed out due to an old injury.
Zuckerberg recently welcomed three new board members to Meta, including John Elkann, chief executive of Exor, and Charlie Songhurst, a tech investor who previously worked at Microsoft. This brings the total number of board seats to 13.
Meta has been expanding its wearables technology and competing in the field of artificial intelligence. The company recently launched its own generative system with open-source code, allowing others to freely copy and modify it.
Zuckerberg has faced criticism over Meta’s content moderation policies, which have been accused by some of amounting to censorship of conservative voices. In recent weeks, he met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, where the two congratulated each other on winning their respective elections.
