In a new book by former President Donald Trump, he’s making a dramatic threat against Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta. Trump’s book, called Save America, isn’t out yet, but a preview was shared with Politico, and it’s causing a stir.
Here’s the scoop: Trump claims that Zuckerberg, who runs Facebook (now Meta), was secretly working against him during the 2020 election. In the book, Trump describes Zuckerberg as having a sneaky side, even though he pretended to be friendly when they met in the White House. Trump says Zuckerberg’s real aim was to undermine him while pretending to be supportive.
The controversy centers around a $420 million donation from Zuckerberg and his wife to improve voting systems in 2020. Trump accuses Zuckerberg of using this money to interfere in the election and is now warning him not to try anything similar in the upcoming November election.
In the book, Trump is clear: if Zuckerberg—or anyone else—breaks the law during the 2024 election, they could end up in prison for life. This is a bold statement from Trump, who has previously said he would crack down on election fraud if he wins.
Trump’s book also includes a photo of him with Zuckerberg from when he was president, with a caption suggesting that Zuckerberg was only pretending to be nice while plotting against him.
In a recent twist, Zuckerberg admitted in a letter to Congress that he had faced pressure from the Biden administration to censor Covid-19 content on Facebook, which he now regrets. He promised not to bow to any political pressure in the future and to stay neutral.
So, as Trump’s new book makes waves, the big question is: Will Zuckerberg really face any consequences for his actions, or is this just another chapter in the ongoing drama of American politics? Stay tuned!
