The tech billionaire war on "woke" is really a war on workers

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg went on Joe Rogan's podcast to celebrate his MAGA makeover.

Amanda Marcotte : Mark Zuckerberg's posturing is embarrassing, but it's hard to look away from.

Marcotte says the pivot to MAGA isn't just about overgrown nerds trying to compensate for high school insecurities.

It also seems to be fueled by a deep loathing of the very people who have made these capitalists their money.

Mark Zuckerberg is moving Meta 's moderation teams from California to Texas , where, he argues, "there’s less concern about the bias of our teams" Zuckerberg may want to frame the "neutered" environment of his offices in gendered terms that resonate with the psychosexual hang-ups of Trump voters.

Zuckerberg 's former COO Sheryl Sandberg got a lot of grief, much of it well-deserved, for her " Lean In " book and its watered-down, individualistic approach to feminism.

The real battle is between working people, whether college-educated or not, and the hyper-wealthy, who want to suck up all the money for themselves and leave the people who do the actual labor behind.

Musk and Zuckerberg save their rhetorical fire for the middle class desk workers who staff their companies.
