In a bold interview with Joe Rogan, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg advocated for embracing “masculine energy” in corporate culture while scaling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Meta recently also eased content moderation policies and fact-checking.
Dressed in his signature “Zuck 2.0” look — baggy black T-shirt, gold chain, and curly blonde hair — Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed a new version of himself in a bold interview with podcaster Joe Rogan. The world is calling it “Zuck 3.0.” This version appears more daring and controversial as Zuckerberg shares his vision for corporate culture, emphasizing “masculine energy” while scaling back on diversity initiatives.
Zuckerberg’s remarks appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast and were striking. “Masculine energy, I think, is good,” he said, claiming corporate environments have moved away from traditional masculine traits like aggression. According to Zuckerberg, successful workplaces need a balance of masculine and feminine energies, though he believes the pendulum has swung too far toward neutrality.
Zuckerberg’s own connection to this philosophy is personal. He spoke about how practicing mixed martial arts influenced his outlook, describing it as “a much more masculine culture.” His comments come alongside major policy shifts at Meta that further amplify the company’s ideological shift.
