Donald Trump issues a stern warning to Mark Zuckerberg, suggesting the Meta CEO could face a lifetime in prison if found guilty of election interference during the 2024 U.S. presidential race. Learn more about this explosive claim from the former president.
In a provocative statement that has stirred political and legal discussions, former U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg could "spend the rest of his life in prison" if he engages in what Trump alleges as election meddling during the upcoming 2024 presidential race. This assertion is detailed in Trump's upcoming book, Save America, set to be released on September 3rd.
According to Trump, Zuckerberg was allegedly involved in a "real conspiracy against the president" during the last election, using Facebook to damage Trump's reputation and influence public opinion in favor of the Democrats.
"We're watching him closely, and if he does something illegal this time, he'll spend the rest of his life in prison—just like others who cheat in the 2024 presidential election," Trump wrote, making it clear that any perceived interference in the electoral process would not go unnoticed or unpunished.
Trump's claims are part of a broader narrative he has pushed regarding the role of social media platforms in influencing electoral outcomes. He has previously accused Zuckerberg of aiding the Democrats in winning past elections, a charge that has been met with both skepticism and support from different quarters.
The former president's refusal to block TikTok in the U.S. was also cited as a move to counterbalance Meta's growing influence in American society.
As the 2024 election approaches, these allegations are likely to fuel further debate over the role of social media in politics and the potential legal ramifications for tech executives like Zuckerberg if they are found to be involved in any form of election manipulation.
