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