Things are turbulent not only for the two business giants but also for the entire technology industry from a Zuckerberg move.
The boss of Facebook recently approached Microsoft’s powerful man, President and CEO Brad Smith, in a move that brought shock.
The revelation was made by the website The Information and according to which, Zuckerberg asked Smith to join the Facebook potential.
He replied that he was happy with Microsoft and did not intend to leave it, only that the aggressive move to seize the president of Microsoft was of great concern to Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg, as we are talking about the same essential position. A position that does not fit both!
The strong lady of Facebook had said a while ago that she feels her position is threatened and Mark’s move confirmed her fears in the most categorical way.

Facebook circles, of course, are trying to downplay the fact, saying that Zuckerberg sought Smith’s advice, as he had done in the past, approaching Bill Gates himself. A Facebook spokesman said: “After Cambridge Analytica, Mark approached several people, including Brad Smith, for advice on the situation on Facebook. He never spoke to Brad to come to Facebook. “
However, as Elizabeth Dwoskin of the Washington Post pointed out on Twitter, Smith, and Sandberg are doing the same job for the two giants, as they are both No. 2 in their companies. Which means it’s about to be the most delusional time of the year, as well.
Zuck reaching out to Microsoft’s Brad Smith seems like a real threat to Sheryl. That’s basically her current role. https://t.co/8jYMkdc216

Market participants insist that Zuckerberg’s move to approach the strong man of Microsoft was not accidental. Although Zuckerberg owes a lot to Sandberg and the 6 years she has given him out of her life, maybe it’s time for everyone to go their separate ways.
