UFC CEO Dana White will "join the board of directors of Meta," the tech giant that owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, in a "surprise move." Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the addition of White and two other board members on Monday. Zuckerberg and White "are friendly, with the Facebook founder an occasional guest at UFC matches." White is also "very close with incoming President Trump, who Zuckerberg and other tech moguls have tried to forge a relationship with ahead of his second term." White in a statement said he had "never been interested in joining a board of directors until I got the offer to join Meta’s board" (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 1/6).
On Tuesday's edition of Buzzcast, SBJ's Abe Madkour discusses White's decision to link up with Meta.
