Zuckerberg wins Meta deal to help him foot bill for possible California billionaire tax

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 22 October 2026 and 22 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

The Meta boss had said he would exit the state over a wealth tax that has not yet come into force.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the same broad deal between Meta and Mark Zuckerberg tied to a possible California wealth tax. The Guardian US frames it as Meta striking a deal and says Zuckerberg agreed to remain in California for eight years even if a 5% wealth tax is introduced, while the BBC headline casts it as Zuckerberg winning a deal and notes only that he had threatened to leave over a tax not yet in force.
