What would you do if you were a white male with billions of dollars and seemingly a lot of extra time on your hands? If you answered anything other than “destroy a social media app and buy a U.S. election” or “go on a podcast to complain about companies not being man enough,” then you’d be wrong! Sorry!
On Friday, Joe Rogan released his latest podcast episode featuring Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire founder of Facebook, now Meta, who’s recently made a somewhat whiplash-inducing pivot from being a vocal critic of Trump to becoming another ass-kissing sycophant. In their nearly three-hour interview, Zuckerberg talked to Rogan about his passion for hunting invasive pigs in Hawaii and complained about how companies just aren’t masculine enough anymore.
“Masculine energy I think is good, and obviously society has plenty of that, but I think that corporate culture was really trying to get away from it,” Zuckerberg said. “It’s like you want feminine energy, you want masculine energy. I think that that’s all good. But I do think the corporate culture sort of had swung toward being this somewhat more neutered thing.” Must be hard to be one of the top five richest people in the world and still be a whiny little bitch.
I’m pretty sure in order to have masculine energy, you must be a human. Not an artificially created automaton.
Nobody looks at you and thinks “masculine energy” Zuckerberg.
Wtf even is masculine energy in the context of a business? Stealing your employees’ breast milk?
I still can’t believe that happened, it’s just so WTF.
Two pieces of shit talk to each other and all that comes out of it is shit. I’m flabbergasted I tell you. Flabbergasted.
I’m flabbergasted that anyone, literally ANYONE, listens to their blabbering at all. WTF is wrong with people?
They’re incapable of critical thought for a start…
Writing these kind of pieces is really important because these thin skinned bitches love to get angry about people speaking truth to power to them, and that’s when they let their guard down the most because they’re busy trying to cover up how much of a little bitch they are.
I think maybe we should up our game and make like the
scorpionvending machine and cleaning robot from Sealab and make necklaces with their teeth.After further review, we need to be Captain Murphy, they’ve stolen our teeth for far too long.

Man they really botched his last update.
The sheer number of people I could individually, directly give life-changing amounts of money, and still leave myself a comfortable ten million dollars or so to live the rest of my life with is just staggering.
With 200 billion (apparently 5 billion less than fuckerberg’s current net worth) that’s $10,000 each to twenty million people, for.example.
I have said this many times before and, unfortunately, I’ll probably end up saying it many times in the future: It should not be legal anywhere to have more money than you can spend in a human lifetime.
Or since he’d still be a narcissistic asshole and would want to experience the happiness and adulation personally, that would be over $2M to each and every resident of Kauai. He wouldn’t need security on an island where he made everyone millionaires.
I would actually respect that more than anything he’s done in his entire life so far. At least a few native Hawaiians would get some real cash.
What if I told you there’s room to do the things you deem masculine, things you deem feminine, and still identify as yourself? People like Zuckerburg speaking like he has everything figured out when he can’t even deconstruct a false dichotomy is some peak pseudo-intellectualism.
It’s so weird. I am cis male and I have never felt like I was anything but a man, but I do not buy into any of this macho bullshit and I never have. I have never felt the need to prove that I’m the biggest and the strongest and the roughest and toughest. I like reading and classic cinema and playing word games and stuff, nothing “manly.” I don’t feel like less of a man because I never played football or even roughoused as a kid, never went hunting or even shot a gun, could not give less of a shit about sports in general, and I don’t even lift bro.
I could not give less of a shit about “masculine energy.” I’m secure enough in my gender identity that I don’t need it.
And it makes me wonder why Zuckerberg things he does.
For real. Imagine being that rich and powerful, yet still being so deeply insecure. Can’t you afford to just be yourself without worrying about whether every little detail jives with your gender identity? Isn’t that the sort of freedom that “fuck you money” is supposed to buy? Now I kinda wonder whether he actually has any interest in MMA whatsoever or he just got into it because the testosterone-laden meatheads all go nuts for it as being a supremely “manly” thing, and he’s too insecure to be into something that might be more interesting to him like drone racing or baking because they’re not the manliest thing he can think of.
Imagine being one of the wealthiest people in human history and being so creatively and emotionally and socially bankrupt. If he weren’t such an insufferable asshole, I might feel sorry for him.
I have a solution to the Zucc problem: convince him that real men hunt feral pigs with a knife. Only a knife. He’ll meet a sticky end soon enough.
Plastic butter knife.
I don’t know for sure, but I have a feeling that Zuck has a 3 comma painting somewhere on one of his properties…
¡Tres Comas!
He’s going with whichever way the wind is blowing and right now that’s Trump and the republicans. He knows to do otherwise will adversely impact his business.
Corporations avoiding adverse impact is just being incredibly bland and apolitical. This is a personal choice, not a business one.
There is no difference between personal and business when you’re a billionaire CEO.
Side bar: I’d love to see more articles linked here in politics from both Jezebel and Wonkette, if I’m being honest. Wonkette typically has better coverage than a great deal of “centrist” outlets from major corporations…
Oh wow, I haven’t thought about Wonkette in years! Glad they’re still around. I’ll have to check them out again. Thanks for bringing them up!
