Zuckerberg Calls Trump’s Response to Shooting ‘Badass’


In a surprising revelation, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms, allegedly described former President Donald Trump’s response to a high-profile shooting incident as "badass." The comment, which came to light through leaked internal communications, has sparked a flurry of reactions across the political and tech landscapes.

The incident in question involved Trump’s immediate and forceful remarks following a tragic shooting. According to the leaks, Zuckerberg admired the decisiveness and assertiveness of Trump’s response, calling it "badass" during a private discussion with senior Meta executives. This remark, though private, has fueled intense debate given Zuckerberg's public stance on numerous political and social issues, which often appeared to diverge from Trump’s positions.

Critics argue that such a comment from Zuckerberg, a prominent figure in Silicon Valley and a frequent advocate for social justice causes, could be seen as incongruous. They suggest it reflects a deeper complexity within the tech industry’s interactions with political figures, especially those as polarizing as Trump. Conversely, some interpret the comment as a straightforward acknowledgment of Trump’s ability to command attention and take charge in crisis situations, regardless of political affiliations.

The disclosure of Zuckerberg’s remark has intensified scrutiny on the relationship between big tech leaders and political figures, highlighting the nuanced and sometimes contradictory positions they may hold privately versus publicly. As reactions continue to unfold, this episode underscores the ongoing intersection of technology, politics, and personal opinions within the highest echelons of corporate leadership.

Kamala Harris: Missing the Moment to Define Her Leadership

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism, ...

We Are Not Running Out of Time—We’re Wasting It

In a world teeming with opportunities, it’s not time that we lack, but the wisdom to seize the moment. We often hear the refrain, “We’re running out of time,” as if the hours slip through our fingers like grains of sand. But the truth is, we have ample time; we’re just not using it effectively. Instead of harnessing the abundant opportunities around us, we find ourselves bogged down by distractions, procrastination, and indecision. Consider the metaphor: we are knee-deep in water, yet crying for sheep. The water represents the wealth of resources, knowledge, and chances that surround us. Yet, rather than utilizing what’s at our disposal, we waste time lamenting what we don’t have, or worse, chasing after things that don’t truly matter. This misplaced focus leads to frustration and a sense of urgency that is entirely self-imposed. The real crisis isn’t a shortage of time, but a failure to make the most of what we have. Every moment we waste is a moment we could have spent building, lear...
