The wrestling pope sat on Meta’s board of directors

On Monday, three new members were added to Meta’s board of directors, which in itself would not have much news value if Dana White were not one of them.

Who doesn’t remember from 2023 the biggest almost-happened sensation of the technology industry, the cage fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, which, based on the former’s statement, was canceled because the latter’s intentions did not prove to be serious enough. It is a fact that Zuckerberg is a fan of certain martial arts and actively trains himself, which is probably how fate brought him together with Dana White, the all-powerful president of the UFC.

White, who has led the largest MMA company since 2001 – who trained as a professional boxer himself – will also sit on Meta’s board of directors from Monday, which probably won’t make the company more combative, but it will definitely put him in a better position than Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States, who in January He will begin his second term in the White House on the 19th.

White is one of Trump’s close friends, and he previously spoke at several Republican campaign meetings, and also appeared on stage during the announcement of the results of the November presidential election on the side of the president-elect.

The friendship doesn’t stop there, or it didn’t start here, because Zuckerberg’s company – which had a particularly strained relationship with the first Trump administration – gave one million dollars to Trump’s inauguration fund last December, and last week one of the prominent Republican politicians, Joel Kaplan, was appointed to the to the company’s head of regulation.
