Mark Zuckerberg Joins Business Roundtable, Shifts Stance on Politics

Mark Zuckerberg has joined the Business Roundtable, a lobbying group that represents large U.S. companies. This move marks a significant shift in Zuckerberg's approach to politics, as he has become more vocal and visible in Washington.

Zuckerberg's membership in the Business Roundtable comes after he reached out to the organization months earlier. His involvement with the group reflects his growing interest in politics and his desire to influence policy decisions.

The Meta CEO has also started speaking out on issues that align with President Trump's talking points. On Joe Rogan's podcast, Zuckerberg criticized efforts to monitor speech and behavior, saying that "a lot of the corporate world is pretty culturally neutered."

Zuckerberg's newly vocal stance may also reflect his personal views. His decision to stop fact-checking posts on Facebook, announced just before Trump's inauguration, appeared to be a move to satisfy the incoming president and conservatives.

The Business Roundtable has also undergone a shift in its approach. In 2019, the organization emphasized the importance of companies investing in their employees, protecting the environment, and dealing fairly with suppliers. However, this approach has fallen out of favor, with Corporate America refocusing on the bottom line.

At the World Economic Forum, diversity initiatives were barely discussed, and the pendulum seems to have swung. Chuck Robbins, CEO of Cisco and chairman of the Business Roundtable, noted that "diversity in general is good for business," but acknowledged that the pendulum has swung.
