Zuckerberg, who was once a prominent figure in liberal politics, has recently been expressing views that deviate from the traditional liberal narrative.
In a recent interview, Zuckerberg described former President Donald Trump's reaction to an assassination attempt as "badass." This comment, along with his decision to withdraw from political involvement, has sparked speculation about a shift in his political leanings.
Further evidence of this shift comes from internal issues at Meta, where Zuckerberg has reportedly expressed frustration with the political implications of his philanthropic efforts. He has also expressed regret over hiring employees who pushed him further to the left on certain issues.

However, Zuckerberg's political evolution is not without its challenges. His stance on globalism, for example, has raised questions about whether he fully understands its association with far-left progressivism.

Zuckerberg's shift away from progressive politics was reportedly triggered by activism within his philanthropy. After the 2020 protests over the police killing of George Floyd, an employee asked Zuckerberg to resign from Facebook or the initiative due to his reluctance to moderate comments from Trump. This incident, among others, led Zuckerberg to distance himself from the foundation's progressive political work.

Zuckerberg has also implemented a new internal policy at Meta that prohibits employees from discussing issues such as abortion, racial justice movements, and wars in the workplace.
While Zuckerberg has stated that he will not be involved in politics, he has been reaching out to Trump and other Republicans to repair relationships. He has assured Trump that he will not make similar donations to those he made in 2020.
