Dana White, C.E.O. of UFC, has joined Meta's board of directors, enhancing the company's leadership and signals strengthened ties with the incoming Trump administration. This move could usher in new opportunities for Meta in areas like artificial intelligence (A.I.) and wearable technology, which the company is heavily investing in. Recent board additions, including industry leaders from Exor and Microsoft, suggest Meta is looking to leverage its position within the tech sector following intense political scrutiny over content moderation.
