Meta plans a new non-voting share class so Zuckerberg can sell shares for a possible tax bill without giving up voting control. The tax may not pass, and the story reports no clear change to Meta's business.
This mainly addresses Zuckerberg's personal tax bill, not Meta's sales or costs. The new non-voting share class could change Meta's share structure, but the story gives no share count or stated cost to the company. His 8-year commitment keeps him in California or near Meta's headquarters, but the tax proposal may not pass and no business result is reported.
Alphabet is mentioned because co-founder Sergey Brin is part of the tax debate. The story reports no new action or business change by Alphabet.
