Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan’s charitable foundation laid off dozens of employees Wednesday in an ostensible restructuring.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), which was founded and is led by the couple, laid off 48 employees, a foundation spokesperson told Business Insider. CZI sent hundreds of millions of dollars, dubbed “Zuckbucks,” to an organization called the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), which used the funds to help administer elections in 2020 in largely Democratic districts in multiple states, which critics argued was an attempt to boost turnout.
A CZI employee verified the firings on widely used tech worker app Blind, describing the situation as a “bloodbath,” according to Business Insider. The layoffs are aimed at reorganizing CZI’s approach to philanthropic grants and financing education advancement, according to The 74 Million.
A spokeswoman for CZI confirmed the details of The 74 Million’s reporting in a statement to Business Insider.

Left-wing billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations also recently announced plans to lay off 40% of their worldwide employees, according to The Associated Press. It is the nonprofit organization’s second significant staff reduction in three years.
The CTCL obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from Zuckerberg and Chan in 2020 “to promote safe and reliable voting.” CTCL spent the money on assisting the likely Democratic districts in enlisting additional poll workers, adding more ballot drop boxes and expanding mail-in vote processing.
CZI did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America’s ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came “January 6,” a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated “an armed insurrection” (no protester was armed) against America.
Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.
The Deep State’s never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump’s persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president.”
