Mark Zuckerberg is doubling down on more cartoon villainy this week by proposing to lay off more than 3,600 employees — or roughly five percent of Meta 's "lowest performers." Of course, in true capitalist fashion, he plans to backfill those positions later this year.

The layoffs come as Mark Zuckerberg pushes to remake his company for the Trump era and prepares to co-host a gala for the president-elect’s inauguration.

Meta will cut about 5% of its workforce, focusing on getting rid of low-performing employees at the social media giant.
