Leaked audio from internal Facebook meetings feature CEO Mark Zuckerberg talking trash about Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Twitter, and rallying employees against critics.
Speaking to nervous employees, Zuckerberg addressed calls by 2020 presidential candidates for Facebook to be broken up, answered questions about strong resistance from regulators around the globe concerning the company’s Libra cryptocurrency, and shared why he’s refused multiple requests to testify in Europe.
According to The Verge, which obtained two hours of audio from the July meetings, notes that Zuckerberg uses language “that is often more candid than he typically uses in his public comments.”

On the potential breakup of Facebook
“You have someone like Elizabeth Warren who thinks that the right answer is to break up the companies … if 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. And does that still suck for us? Yeah. I mean, I don’t want to have a major lawsuit against our own government. … But look, at the end of the day, if someone’s going to try to threaten something that existential, you go to the mat and you fight.”
