I think it means he's fallen completely for the man-o-sphere culture that is not fully on DUers radars. It's a sign that Zuckerberg has or is posturing like he has completely fallen for the algorithm that drives men into incel adjacent content.

For corporate culture, I think he means more business events at strip clubs, more personal attacks of people perceived as inferior at work, less tolerance for "mental health days,” more foul language, and generally a more aggressive environment.

I wonder if it will transfer to work fashion. More 80's Wall Street looks, more leather, less business casual, etc.
