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.
Yeah considering the endless flow of conspiratorial bullshit from my relatives you’re just fine orange fuck face.
Forbes has Zuckerberg at 179 billion and Trump at 7.5.
Trump threatening Zuckerberg is like a Chihuahua talking smack to a St. Bernard.
Also in terms of content
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.
Facebook is the reason Trump was elected in the first place (Cambridge Analytica).
Same goes for the Brexit vote. They’re responsible for a lot of damage to the western economies…
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.
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.
Zuckerberg has nothing to fear. Unlike Trump, he’s a real billionaire and they make the rules.
If Zuck’s cheating keeps Trump out of the oval office, he won’t have the authority to send him to prison, now would he? Unless Trump is so delusional that he thinks he can win despite “cheating”, which of course he would.
But if Trump loses, it can only be because of cheating or election interference, it can’t possibly be because the American people opted not to chose him. Totally not the delusions of a sore loser, nope.
God, sometimes I wish he had his head blown off back in July. Not having to listen to this moron spew off nonsense day in and day out would have been nice.
Zuck is already tipping the scale in Trump’s favor. What a fucking moron turning on an ally of his.
It’s probably for show
I kinda hope both of them try to put Zucky away. For some reason, I have no robot sympathy.

Wikipedia about this sourceWouldn’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.

Let’m duke it out next to the Titanic while in a carbon fiber sub.
I’d pay to watch that.
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…
It will eventually.
Better than getting eaten by a shark!
It will once it sinks
Subs are buoyant at the surface unless their ballast tanks are filled with water… else they would never resurface.
I know musk is a fucking moron, but even he isn’t stupid enough to have the ballast tanks fully open in the event of an emergency (allowing water to fill them causing it to sink)… that’s like the opposite of how they should work.
There must have been a mechanical failure and the ballast tanks started filling up.
We are watching him closely
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.
Don’t be so sure. Getting money tends to bring out the dickbag in peoples’ personalities.
There’s a lot of them.
It also implies a threat from his rapid mob of fans.

Not only are they fast, they’re also rabid. ;)
Grammaw has never been so conflicted.

“But my friend Elon can fuck around as muuuuuuch as he wants.”
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?
