Stung by right-wing criticism and frustrated by his encounters with Washington, Mark Zuckerberg is pulling away from politics. The Facebook billionaire believes that trying to work with politicians has done more harm than good to his company, Meta, according to those who have spoken with him. At the same time, he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have shut down projects of their philanthropic LLC, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, that could be read as partisan, including its justice and opportunity division. They also do not plan to repeat the $400 million donation they made in 2020 to shore up election infrastructure, which Republicans have lambasted. (New York Times)
Background from the Chronicle: Politics and Charity in 2024: Why It’s Time to Draw a Hard Line
A coalition of activists, partly backed by money linked to fossil fuel industries, is using the critically endangered right whale as a tool to stop wind power projects. Save Right Whales blames the construction and operation of wind turbines for whale deaths, although many scientists instead blame collisions with ships and entanglements with commercial fishing lines. The coalition or its members have received indirect contributions from a think tank backed by the foundation of oil billionaire Charles G. Koch and via a libertarian think tank “funded in part by a trade group representing the fossil-fuel industry.” It sometimes partners with another coalition whose members also receive money from Koch family foundations.
