Whoa, In Leaked Video: @facebook's Mark Zuckerberg calls @ewarren an "existential" threat to his business interests, says he'll "go to the mat" and "fight" her
Link to tweet
In leaked audio posted by The Verge, Zuckerberg speaking with Facebook employees at company meetings expressed deep concern that Warren would attempt to break up Facebook should she win the presidency. And were that to happen, Zuckerberg promised legal retaliation.
f she gets elected president, then I would bet that we will have a legal challenge, and I would bet that we will win the legal challenge, Zuckerberg said. And does that still suck for us? Yeah. I mean, I dont want to have a major lawsuit against our own government. I mean, thats not the position that you want to be in when youre, you know, I mean its like, we care about our country and want to work with our government and do good things.
Zuckerberg went on to deem the threat posed by Warren as existential, and vowed not to let it go unchallenged.
[L]ook, at the end of the day, if someones going to try to threaten something that existential, you go to the mat and you fight, he said.
