FT: Meta Plans Non-Voting Share Class to Fund AI Buildout While Zuckerberg Keeps Control
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-22
Per Financial Times (via rohanpaulai), Meta's AI build-out requires outside equity on a scale its founder-control structure can't absorb, so the company is creating a share class giving investors economics with no votes. This lets Mark Zuckerberg sell stock while retaining control; in return he has committed to live in California, where Meta is headquartered.
