Simultaneously, a Brazilian judge is threatening Musk. The judge even seized the Starlink’s local accounts (https://g1.globo.com/politica/blog/valdo-cruz/post/2024/08/29/na-falta-de-representante-da-x-no-brasil-stf-bloqueou-recursos-financeiros-da-starlink-de-elon-musk.ghtml) in order to enforce fines against Musk. I’m not entering the merit of the matter, but it’s curious the pattern.
It’s not surprising though. During election season, interested parties both for and against censorship and election interference get more vocal and forceful on the matter.
Sounds like great incentive for Zuck to do everything in his power to make sure Trump doesn’t get reelected.
I’m beginning to think this Trump guy doesn’t think things through…
Tomorrow he won’t remember saying it. It’ll be a democrats fault.
Why? Is he breaking the law?
Bold to assume supporting anyone but trump is legal (under the trumpian definition of legality).
“The party of law and order”
fight! fight!
If it would be a life sentence, then Zuckerburg might as well assassinate him.
(note: this is hypothetical, I’m not advocating Trump’s assassination, I much prefer he win less than 40% of the popular vote and less than 200 EVs, and that he runs again for President in 2028, 2032, and 2036)
IDK I do not want to see Trump running in 2028, 2032, 2036. I may be voting for him for his policies, but I am growing weary of his rhetoric and antics and am ready to move past him and get to whatever the future of the GOP is going to be. Especially if it’s not MAGA.
You’re a fucking fascist then
Nuh uh, I’m waiting for marriage
What kind of policies are you refering to? Im curious
Lower taxes, increasing oil production, stronger negotiations with world powers, securing the border, etc.
So… largely democrat policies?.. that actually get done?
😂
Trump already had 4 years of presidency. How did he perform on all those merits that you just said?
Pretty well except for exploding inflation and the deficit through the COVID-19 stimulus checks, and the relatively slow construction and repair of border wall
Could you define pretty well? Make it concrete and then source all of it to support pretty well? And will it trump (yes bad word joke) the exceptions you mentioned?
I mean…he did lower taxes.

He signed off on the Keystone XL pipeline as well.

In fact, Trump oversaw the greatest increase in Oil production during his tenure, which likely helped keep oil and gas prices low during that time frame:
With international affairs, he got along well enough with even enemies like Kim Jong Un to be able to set foot into North Korea, which no president has ever done before.

He supported sanctions that Iran’s economy so that, among other things, they couldn’t fund terror operations like October 7th.
DonOld the con really meant that if Zuck doesn’t make him win he will be very sorry.
Anything illegal in this case = anything trump dislikes.
Full petty dictator mode.
Removed by mod
It’s pretty much happening now, although the president isn’t the one saying stuff like this, it’s the people prosecuting him.
Mafia boss strikes again
It would be cool with me if both Zuckerberg and Donald went to jail for the rest of their lives.
I mean we should be doing that if that happens.
I love that he only manages to be right about something when he’s wrong at a far more fundamental level.
Trump legitimately strikes me as “What if the protagonist of the Sonichu comics got elected.” Sometimes
I’d actually prefer the justice system abide by the law and current sentencing guidelines. But like yes, obviously he should be prosecuted if he breaks the law just like…anyone else you might name.
Ridiculous. If you can’t even rise above the law by inflating your wallet, what incentive is there to get rich. /s
Fascist.
Maybe Zucc and Trump can be cellmates
I approve this message
Illegal? Like marking legitimate news stories that criticize Trump as spam to scare away voters from reading them?
Haha he is probably referring to acquiescing to government requests to censor stories that could help Trump in an election. Which doesn’t make the most sense because Zuckerberg himself says that he regrets doing that in the past and won’t do it in the future. Maybe he wants to make sure?
He’s probably referring to some delusion he manifested in his own mind during a ministroke he had while pinching off a particularly fat McD’s turd.
I will not give him the benefit of the doubt here, you’re only assuming he’s referencing reality.
So like this then? https://lemmy.world/post/19224767
Sort of? They’re similar but this is in reference to Zuckerberg admitting he colluded with the government to temporarily censor a negative story about Hunter Biden.
Are you saying he colluded with the government to interfere in the 2020 election?
Yes. And so did Zuckerberg. Did you not hear what he said? He admitted to it this week.
The government and Facebook did election fraud… in 2020?
Not like in a “find the votes” sense, but yes they used their power to sway the election at the behest of the government. There’s no way you don’t know this already.
That is legal.
