I'm guessing Trump does not remember when Elon Musk tried to bully Zuckerberg into a physical fight leading to Zuckerberg accepting the challenge and Musk having to tuck tail and run.
Did it never happen? Lmfao
Well we never heard about Zuckerberg breaking Musk in half so I'm going to assume no. Zuckerberg is a piece of shit, but he's pretty jacked and has spent a significant amount of time training. Musk is an out of shape loser that can barely crawl out of the k hole he's spent the last decade in.
Of course not. Zuckerberg is 13 years younger and actively trains MMA. Elon is fat, spends all day tweeting bullshit, and is probably addicted to ketamine.
Zuck legitimately might kill Elon on accident if that fight happened. (But fuck em both)

As far as I know, Musk's mom stepped in and barred Elon from fighting. No cap.
It'll happen around the same time that Sean Hannity gets waterboarded for charity.

Man. I was hoping it would play out like pro wrestling. Then Tom from Myspace outta nowhere with the steel chair on both their asses.
So people who interfere with elections should be imprisoned for life? Hmmmmmmm.
I mean he said it, I think we should do it.

But Zuck is a big reason T**** won in 2016. And why he's doing as well as he is now.

Perhaps Trump is pissed that he's not doing it again this year?
Zuck is doing it again this year. They announced that the team that's supposed to remove election disinformation is gone. Plus, Zuck said they won't "give in" to any government censorship, even when the censorship is to protect the public, ie - removing violent right-wing posts that helped fuel the riots in England.

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.
“Dictator on Day 1” is putting the pieces in place for his second coup attempt. Russian & other oligarchs (Musk) are helping.
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.
It also implies a threat from his rapid mob of fans.

Not only are they fast, they're also rabid. ;)

Two words:
Cambridge Analytica.
This isn't a genuine accusation, it's a loyalty test.
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
Zuckerberg has nothing to fear. Unlike Trump, he's a real billionaire and they make the rules.
Good Old Projection: The Republicans are already using X to cheat the election and they don't want competition.
You misunderstand. Trump doesn't mean cheat when he says chest. He means anyone who doesn't support him. It's the same thing the Nazis did. They changed the rules to make political opponents criminals and/or just killed them in the street. They use words as weapons, and they often don't mean what a normal person assumes it to mean.
Yeah considering the endless flow of conspiratorial bullshit from my relatives you're just fine orange fuck face.
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.
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.

“But my friend Elon can fuck around as muuuuuuch as he wants.”
“…we are watching him closely”

You've made the mistake of thinking they care about facts. What they mean is "if we even think you are favouring our opponents we will punish you for it." What they are leaving unsaid is "you better favour us so that we don't say you were favouring our opponents."
Facts don't matter, all that matters is the threat of his mob. That's why the cemetery he illegally filmed in isn't pressing charges.
Did Musk tell him that Zuck is a meaniehead?
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!).

Wouldn'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.
Forbes has Zuckerberg at 179 billion and Trump at 7.5.
Trump threatening Zuckerberg is like a Chihuahua talking smack to a St. Bernard.
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.

I bet that is something zuckerberg haven't considered when he built his doomsday vault on Hawaii...

I am not really sure who to root for in this battle of shitheads, best case scenario would be the two of them somehow eliminating each other simultaneously
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.
I kinda hope both of them try to put Zucky away. For some reason, I have no robot sympathy.
Can we put them in the same cell and convince Trump that it's a reality show?
