Richard Blumenthal
Mark Zuckerberg
QuestionWalks Zuckerberg through confirming a chain of facts culminating in a specific allegation: that he personally rejected Nick Clegg's internal request for 45-84 additional safety/well-being engineers (an estimated $50M/quarter cost against $9.2B in quarterly earnings) shortly before Antigone Davis publicly testified that Meta was "investing heavily" in kids' safety.
ResponseZuckerberg confirms every biographical/procedural fact in the chain (Davis's role, her testimony, Clegg's role, receiving the memo) but doesn't dispute or substantively respond to the core allegation that he personally rejected the funding request.
