摘要

Two claims were partially confirmed: Meta's announcement on October 22, 2026, regarding a board-approved plan to issue nonvoting Class C shares that Mark Zuckerberg can sell to fund a potential California billionaire wealth tax and his commitment to remain a state resident for eight years, and Meta's announcement on October 21, 2026, about a new class of non-voting stock to finance its AI investments following strong growth in its Muse AI agent and better-than-expected quarterly results. No claims were fully confirmed, refuted, or found to have insufficient evidence.
