Former President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump threatens to imprison billionaire entrepreneur and founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg in his new book, Save America.
Underneath a picture of Zuckerberg meeting with Trump at the White House during the latter’s presidency, Trump writes that Zuckerberg “would come to the Oval Office to see me” and “bring his very nice wife to dinners, be as nice as anyone could be, while always plotting install shameful Lock Boxes in a true PLOT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.”
Then came the threat:
He told me there was nobody like Trump on Facebook. But at the same time, and for whatever reason, steered it against me. We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison — as will others who cheat in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Zuckerberg recently addressed a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) in which he admitted that the company had made a mistake when it demoted The New York Post‘s controversial story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 after being warned about Russian disinformation effort against the Bidens by Trump’s FBI.
I kinda hope both of them try to put Zucky away. For some reason, I have no robot sympathy.
Can we put them in the same cell and convince Trump that it’s a reality show?
Two words:
Cambridge Analytica.
This isn’t a genuine accusation, it’s a loyalty test.
Forbes has Zuckerberg at 179 billion and Trump at 7.5.
Trump threatening Zuckerberg is like a Chihuahua talking smack to a St. Bernard.
There’s absolutely no way Trump is worth 7 billion dollars. I’m skeptical that he’s even a billionaire once all his liabilities are factored in.
So people who interfere with elections should be imprisoned for life? Hmmmmmmm.
If only logic worked for people without brains.
I mean he said it, I think we should do it.
Yeah considering the endless flow of conspiratorial bullshit from my relatives you’re just fine orange fuck face.
Well earned hatred for Zuck aside, Trump really seems like he wants to imprison the entirety of the seventy percent of Americans who don’t bend the knee to him. Depending on what level of military support he garners if he manages to weasel his way back to the White House, we could realistically be looking at a Cambodia Khmer Rouge situation.
I’m not a gun guy, but I’ve seriously been thinking about getting one - not for self defense against a militarized police force or unimaginably powerful military, but as a quick out should things turn to round up the Dems bad.
Now I want to see that movie where 70% of the people are in prison and the rest who roam free are mentally ill or evil morons being led by a tacky weird old TV celebrity
If politics is making you think of killing yourself. Maybe take a step back from politics. There’s more to life than Lemmy.
Unfortunately, there are times when politics takes an interest in all of us, even if we don’t want it to.
Facebook is the reason Trump was elected in the first place (Cambridge Analytica).
The message donnie is meaning to convey is if Zuck doesn’t give him an assist again, he’ll be in prison.
Also, despite what all the qons, the tankies, the tone police, and the likes of donnie, Elon, and Matt Taibbi say - exercising caution over the “laptop” during the election was only all too important.
Same goes for the Brexit vote. They’re responsible for a lot of damage to the western economies…
But Zuck is a big reason T**** won in 2016. And why he’s doing as well as he is now.
They eat their own if you aren’t entirely fascist enough
Perhaps Trump is pissed that he’s not doing it again this year?
Zuck is doing it again this year. They announced that the team that’s supposed to remove election disinformation is gone. Plus, Zuck said they won’t “give in” to any government censorship, even when the censorship is to protect the public, ie - removing violent right-wing posts that helped fuel the riots in England.
I mean it’s possible that he’s working for the other team now, and will be actually influencing for Harris. This would also require removing those teams. Who knows what happens behind the curtain.
Good Old Projection: The Republicans are already using X to cheat the election and they don’t want competition.
You misunderstand. Trump doesn’t mean cheat when he says chest. He means anyone who doesn’t support him. It’s the same thing the Nazis did. They changed the rules to make political opponents criminals and/or just killed them in the street. They use words as weapons, and they often don’t mean what a normal person assumes it to mean.
Wouldn’t zuck want trump to win though?
Publicly, I imagine Zuck doesn’t want Trump to win. As Trump is terrible for anyone’s brand.
Privately, Zuck does want Trump to win. Anything to continue to generate more wealth cause who cares about worker rights, LGBQT rights, minority rights, environmental rights, etc. All those pesky rights just get in the way of generating wealth.
Zuckerberg has nothing to fear. Unlike Trump, he’s a real billionaire and they make the rules.
Did Musk tell him that Zuck is a meaniehead?

Remember, anytime he says “we”, it means “I”, because I’m sure nobody else gives a fuck and he always tries to make it sound like his personal rants are actually popular opinion.
It also implies a threat from his rapid mob of fans.
