Mark Zuckerberg Faces Skepticism Over Efforts to Align With Trump Administration

The Meta CEO’s recent policy changes and overtures to Trump have been met with doubt and demands for further loyalty by the president’s allies.

Mark Zuckerberg has made significant moves to align Meta with Trump’s administration, including ending Facebook’s fact-checking program and donating $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.
Despite these actions, Trump allies remain unconvinced of Zuckerberg’s loyalty, describing his efforts as insufficient and self-serving.
Zuckerberg has faced public criticism from both Trump supporters and media figures, who have labeled him as weak and insincere in his apparent ideological shift.
Some Trump allies, like Mike Lindell, have suggested Zuckerberg should cooperate with investigations into his employees and support efforts to ban electronic voting machines.
Zuckerberg’s overtures are seen as part of a broader trend of corporate leaders seeking to curry favor with Trump to mitigate potential political and legal risks under his administration.
