Dina Powell McCormick, former deputy national security advisor and wife of Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA), was named Meta's next president and vice chairman in a company announcement.
"Congratulations to DINA POWELL MCCORMICK, WHO HAS JUST BEEN NAMED THE NEW PRESIDENT OF META. A great choice by Mark Z!!! She is a fantastic, and very talented, person, who served the Trump Administration with strength and distinction! President DJT"
Social media users had a mix of reactions:
"Oh, Jesus ... Is this why you don't support the SAVE Act? Was that the price Zuck demanded? This smells soooooo swampy," user Maggie Leber wrote on X.
"Wow," Sean Logue, criminal and injury attorney, wrote on X.
"That her husband is a sitting senator from PA and sits on several committee - including Foreign Relations and Finance - is not mentioned but maybe relevant? This has probably happened before, but isnt this the 'swamp' so many claim to be against? Ah, yes, but only for people you dislike," user KJ Schneider wrote on Bluesky.
"Good bye, Mark. Unsubscribing now from all Meta accounts," user Marc Abrams wrote on Bluesky.
