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.
The fake billionaire should probably avoid threatening the real billionaire. Anyway, carry on.
Let’m duke it out next to the Titanic while in a carbon fiber sub.
let elon build it
Careful, he might call you a pedo if you don’t like his submarine.
But if it shorts out as soon as it gets wet, it’ll never get to the proper depths…
Better than getting eaten by a shark!
It will eventually.
I’d pay to watch that.
I’m guessing Trump does not remember when Elon Musk tried to bully Zuckerberg into a physical fight leading to Zuckerberg accepting the challenge and Musk having to tuck tail and run.
So people who interfere with elections should be imprisoned for life? Hmmmmmmm.
I mean he said it, I think we should do it.
If only logic worked for people without brains.
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
True of all fundamentalist movements
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.
I think guys like Zuck only have the bottom line in mind whenever they decide pro or con a candidate. And with a Democrat in office the chance of getting worse regulation is a bit higher. So he’s probably not actively trying to help that happen
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.
“Dictator on Day 1” is putting the pieces in place for his second coup attempt. Russian & other oligarchs (Musk) are helping.
Two words:
Cambridge Analytica.
This isn’t a genuine accusation, it’s a loyalty test.
Zuckerberg has nothing to fear. Unlike Trump, he’s a real billionaire and they make the rules.
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.
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.
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
“…we are watching him closely”

You’ve made the mistake of thinking they care about facts. What they mean is “if we even think you are favouring our opponents we will punish you for it.” What they are leaving unsaid is “you better favour us so that we don’t say you were favouring our opponents.”
Facts don’t matter, all that matters is the threat of his mob. That’s why the cemetery he illegally filmed in isn’t pressing charges.
“But my friend Elon can fuck around as muuuuuuch as he wants.”
Did Musk tell him that Zuck is a meaniehead?
If only people like Merrick Garland could have that kind of energy against the people who actually tried to cheat in 2020 (and are trying again even harder in 2024 because nothing fucking happened to dissuade them!).
Hey!
We don’t want to set some kind of precedent where politicians can be responsible for things they do now do we?
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.
