Meta Cuts 3,200 Bay Area Jobs as AI Restructuring Wave Passes 134,000 US Tech Layoffs in 2026

Meta laid off 3,196 Bay Area workers across five offices in May 2026 as part of a sweeping 8,000-job global restructuring. Combined with 7,000 employee reassignments to AI units and 6,000 cancelled open roles, roughly 20% of the company's workforce was affected. The cuts hit integrity, cybersecurity, and content design teams hardest as CPO Janelle Gale implemented 'AI native design principles' — flatter org structures built around small autonomous pods. The layoffs come amid a broader wave: over 134,000 US tech jobs have been eliminated in 2026, with nearly 50,000 directly attributed to AI adoption by companies including Oracle, PayPal, Block, Cisco, and Intuit.

The company says it has made swift progress on safety safeguards, but developers and cybersecurity experts remain deeply unsettled.

Musk Says SpaceX-Anthropic Deal Is 180-Day Lease, Not 3-Year Commitment

SpaceX's IPO filing and Elon Musk are telling investors two fundamentally different stories about the company's marquee AI compute deal with Anthropic. The S-1 registration statement implies a ~$45 billion, 3-year commitment through May 2029, while Musk says the deal is just a 180-day lease with 90-day mutual cancellation — a maximum $7.5 billion obligation. The $37.5 billion gap in contracted revenue raises disclosure questions as SpaceX's IPO roadshow approaches on June 8.
