Summary
Mark Zuckerberg is courting Donald Trump’s incoming administration, aligning Meta with MAGA politics, to secure a potential TikTok ban, which would significantly benefit his company.
Meta has lobbied aggressively against TikTok, portraying it as a Chinese threat to U.S. values and privacy.
While Meta denies direct involvement, it has a history of pushing anti-TikTok narratives.
Trump, who once threatened Zuckerberg with jail, holds leverage over the ban decision.
Critics argue Zuckerberg’s pivot reflects opportunism, leveraging China’s dominance to deflect attention from Meta’s own controversies.

It’s a well known fact that Zuckerberg has transitioned so those balls are metaphorical
Trump will bend over to anyone who gives him money.
He is a career gold digger.
“Like, I think, like, the CFPB, like, this financial I don’t even know what it stands for. It’s the, it’s the financial organization, that Elizabeth Warren had set up. And it’s basically like, we’re not a bank.
I’ve always known he was a slimy toadie, but I always assumed due to his background in tech that he was smart. Now I’m forced to consider the possibility he is actually stupid.
Maybe it’s performative, but stupid is a stupid does. Because it has “financial” in the name they should only look at banks? That’s… really stupid.
No. this isn’t stupidity, this is playing the fool for Rogan’s anti-intellectual audience. There is no possible way he has been a CEO this long and doesn’t know what CFPB stands for.
I was more going for if he wants to play the fool, I’ll choose to believe him.
Fair.
A little creepy how Zuckerberg now looks a bit like Cumberbatch as Sherlock from 15 years back.
(That Sherlock series is now 15 years old!)
This fact just hit me like a laser beam.
It is absolutely performative. Don’t even consider for a moment that he doesn’t know what he’s doing by dismissing consumer protections like that.
