But in response to the Times report, a Facebook spokesperson told CNBC that the company researched possible motivations behind Soros’ criticism of the company before Sandberg inquired about Soros. Facebook’s stock was up nearly 1 percent in midmorning trade Friday after the report.
Cramer said last week that Facebook’s stock could rise if Sandberg resigned or was ousted. His remarks followed a Wall Street Journal report, which said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg placed blame on Sandberg for the company’s problems, including its Cambridge Analytica scandal and subsequent public disclosures.
The “Mad Money” host on Friday reiterated his argument that Facebook should hire an outside counsel to investigate the company’s recent scandals and “let the chips fall.”
“That’s what they should do. They’re in their own world,” Cramer said on “Squawk Box.” He later said, “I find Facebook to be rogue” after reading the Times report.
Facebook declined to comment on Cramer’s remarks.
