It’s actually it’s the exact “right” time — @nickclegg is not nearly Trumpy enough for Meta anymore like Kavanaugh pal Joel Kaplan is. Btw that’s a compliment from me, Nick. See you on the other side!

As a new year begins, I have come to the view that this is the right time for me to move on from my role as President, Global Affairs at Meta. It truly has been an adventure of a lifetime! I am proud of the work I have been able to do leading and supporting teams across the company to ensure innovation can go hand in hand with increased transparency and accountability, and with new forms of governance. 1/4

I am not sure if he is trolling Kaplan here or not: “He is quite clearly the right person for the right job at the right time!“ I say yes, because he is British after all. In all seriousness, this is an obvious and also depressing move by Zuckerberg.

If Threads turn Trumpy I'm gonna be quite sad. Quite, quite sad.

@karaswisher @nickclegg God. Does that mean we get him back in the UK after he has turned a middling political career in to big $$$$.

Please keep him.
