Donald Trump earlier claimed that he had a phone call with Mark Zuckerberg after the attempt on his life in Pennsylvania. Now Trump claimed that Zuckerberg told him that he can’t vote for a Democrat this election. “Mark Zuckerberg called up and said, ‘I’ve never supported a Republican before, but there’s no way I can vote for a Democrat in this election,’” Trump told New York Magazine.”He’s a guy that, his parents, everybody was always Democrat. He said, ‘I will never vote for the people running against you after watching what you did.’”
But Meta outrightly denied the claim and said Zuckerberg publicly announced that he is not endorsing anybody in the this election and will maintain that stand.
Zuckerberg reacted to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and spoke how Trump’s fist in the air after being shot was the most ‘bada**’ thing he ever saw. “Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life,” Zuckerberg told Bloomberg.
“On some level as an American, it’s like hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that that’s why a lot of people like the guy,” he said.
Zuckerberg came under fire for allegations of content moderation after the assassination attempt. Then he admitted to been under the pressure of the Biden-Harris administration during the Covid pandemic.
In 2021, Trump called Zuckerberg a criminal and claimed that he and his wife swayed the 2020 election. “Mark Zuckerberg, in my opinion, a criminal, is allowed to spend over $400 million and therefore able to change the course of a Presidential Election, and nothing happens to Facebook,” Trump said at that time.
