Thomas Steyer: Meta workforce reduction and political donations draw criticism
Meta layoffs and political donations

Meta has laid off 10% of its workforce, according to comments from Thomas Steyer. The move comes shortly after the company made a $950,000 donation for Xavier Becerra. Steyer argues that the rise of artificial intelligence in major technology firms threatens to concentrate wealth among a small group of business leaders, while putting millions of jobs at risk. He further claims that such trends contribute to the political backing of certain candidates by prominent figures in the technology sector.

Steyer has recently called for higher taxes on oil company earnings following a reported $7 billion profit by Shell. In addition to his public policy positions, Steyer has recognized the contributions of mothers and maternal figures in U.S. communities, as highlighted in a recent tribute. These statements reflect Steyer’s continued engagement with both economic policy and social issues.
