WASHINGTON ¨C Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg told employees in July that the company would ¡°go to the mat¡± to defeat Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren¡¯s expected effort to break up the world¡¯s largest social media company if she were elected president, according to audio of two internal company meetings published by The Verge.
¡°If she (Warren) 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,¡± he said, according to the leaked audio.
Warren, who in March called for breaking up Amazon.com Inc., Facebook Inc. and Alphabet Inc., quickly issued a retort on Twitter.
