BuzzFeed reports that Zuck and wife Priscilla Chan will authority a fundraiser for NJ Gov. Chris Christie—meaning that Facebook now has political ties. It aswell agency the Republican governor has some austere Silicon Valley banknote headed his way.
The event—which will absolutely draw a assemblage of flush and able tech figures—is acceptable the aboriginal of its affectionate for Zuckerberg, who is usually quiet about his political views. But afterwards his $100 actor donation to NJ accessible schools, Zuck and Christie (who's up for reelection this year) accept become pals:
"Mark and (his wife) Priscilla accept formed carefully with Governor Christie on apprenticeship ameliorate in the Newark academy system," said Facebook backer Sarah Feinberg. "They adore his administration on apprenticeship ameliorate and added issues and attending advanced to continuing their important plan calm on account of Newark's academy children."
Giving money to a afflicted academy commune is annihilation but noble, but adopting banknote for Christie agency Zuck is throwing his weight abaft the man's absolute platform—not just the nice things. Christie has accurate himself to be an adversary of gay rights, abortion, and unions. His ACLU address agenda isn't absolutely inspiring.
Still, Governor Christie's acceptance is at an best top post-Sandy and afterwards mega-public appearances with President Obama. For Zuck—not consistently the a lot of admired accessible figure—to attach himself to the thick-necked gov's attack ability be mutually beneficial. But no amount the sum raised, the fundraiser has one above consequence: banknote drummed up by Facebook (and you) now has political meaning.
