When it came to Trump, Zuckerberg said he’s quite optimistic about the incoming President because he “just wants America to win.” The CEO noted how important it is to have a government that defends American tech companies abroad, seemingly referencing the scrutiny Meta has faced in the European Union. Rogan and Zuckerberg veered from content moderation to a wide range of topics during Friday’s episode, including jiu-jitsu, AI, and broader shifts in American culture. The Meta CEO brought up how Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has repeatedly stated that women shouldn’t be allowed to serve in combat roles.
