Money power. To change your mind without doubts and remorse. And if even James Russel Lowell stated that only fools and the dead never change their minds, the consequence of two pieces of news that witness the repositioning of Exor’s president, John Elkann, (as well as Stellantis) seems strange, but not so) under curated by social media mogul Mark Zuckerberg. A joint action to arrive, hat in hand and head bowed, at the court of the winner of the North American elections, Donald Trump. On Monday night, the founder of Facebook announced the addition of heir Agnelli to Meta’s board of directors. “John is the CEO of Exor and chairman of two of Exor’s automotive portfolio companies, Stellantis and Ferrari. He has deep experience managing large global companies and brings an international perspective to our board,” he said. Also testifying with his words that the priorities of the head of Stellantis are increasingly distant from the automotive sector, a fact now clarified more by facts than by recent bombastic statements inciting his employees.
Zuckeberg, in fact, explained that little will be said about cars in his companies. “We have huge opportunities ahead in AI, wearables and the future of social media, and our board (including John) will help us realize our vision,” explained Zuck. In short, a piece of the great international left, made up not only of him, but also of Jeff Bezos (who did not take a position in the last US electoral contest unlike the previous one, when he showed his approval of Joe Biden). to the symbol of the planetary caviar gauche of the Agnelli brand, John in fact, are “all returning to Canossa” lying in the snows of Washington, waiting for forgiveness.
In fact, how can we not read a dramatic turnaround in the fake news management policy, the flagship of Democrats around the world, in the video published yesterday on his profile, where he talks about a “return to origins”. Yes, the decision is revolutionary. Even for the owner of Facebook, the world is now the opposite: after having criticized and contested the freedom of expression left to X users by Elon Musk, after having labeled professional haters on the PC keyboard as soldiers of the black international, the decision of Radical Meta abolishing fact-checking on its platforms (Facebook and Instagram in the first place) is the company’s latest move, certainly the most sensational, to get into Donald Trump’s good graces. “Let’s get rid of fact-checkers who have been too politically aligned and destroyed more trust than they created, especially in the United States,” Zuckerberg concluded. Conclusion with a quote from the song: «How to change so you don’t die».
