Zuckerberg's Power Moves: Meta's Nuclear Deal, AI Focus, and Return to OG Facebook Roots
Mark Zuckerberg BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Mark Zuckerberg has made headlines with a major power move in the energy sector. Just yesterday, Meta inked a 20-year deal with Constellation Energy to purchase nuclear power from the Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois. Starting in June 2027, Meta will buy 1.1 gigawatts of energy—essentially the entire capacity of one reactor at the site. The Telegraph reports this deal effectively saved the nuclear plant from closure, preserving 1,100 local jobs and continued power for 800,000 homes.
This nuclear agreement signals Meta's serious preparation for an AI-focused future, which demands enormous energy resources. According to Fortune, it follows similar moves by tech giants Amazon, Google, and Microsoft as they race to secure clean energy for AI operations. Meanwhile, Meta is also pursuing natural gas options, with Entergy fast-tracking gas-fired plants in Louisiana for a massive Meta data center.
In January, Zuckerberg made waves by announcing significant policy changes at Meta, declaring it was "time to get back to our roots of free expression on Facebook and Instagram." The company ended its algorithm-based fact-checking program in favor of a Community Notes system similar to X, acknowledging that their previous approach led to too many enforcement mistakes.
During Meta's Q4 earnings call, Zuckerberg teased a "return to OG Facebook" as a key 2025 goal, hinting at making the platform "way more culturally influential than it is today." TechCrunch notes these changes will begin rolling out within about six months, though specific details remain scarce.
The Meta CEO also warned employees of an "intense" year ahead in an internal memo, suggesting poor performers might face layoffs. This follows other significant workforce changes, including plans to replace mid-level engineers with AI and halting third-party fact-checking in the US.
Perhaps most significantly, Zuckerberg appears to have pivoted away from the metaverse, redirecting Meta's focus entirely toward artificial intelligence. He's now prioritizing improved advertising, business messaging, Meta AI, and AI-powered devices—including new Oakley-branded AI eyewear coming later this year.
