Mark Zuckerberg thinks he can use his money to get on the right side of history. We just learned that the META mogul has donated $1 million to Donald J. Trump’s inaugural fund.

This news comes weeks after we found out that the little lizard traveled to Florida to dine with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and the proud feminist Justin Trudeau.

Facebook co-founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms (DBA: Meta, formerly named Facebook, Inc.) has kicked in a cool million dollars to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund. This was Zuckerberg’s latest attempt to make amends with the incoming president, after admitting to Congress that Facebook censored users at the request of the Biden-Harris administration. – Red State

Is Zuck really trying to make amends with his almost offensive offer of just one million dollars? Of course, to you and me, that’s a lot of dough, but considering Mark funneled millions of dollars through Facebook to support Biden, I mean, come on, man.

Mark Zuckerberg’s career has never been about truth or building a good product—it’s been about amassing power. His creation of one of the largest censorship algorithms reflects that, as does his recent pivot sensing a shift in the power axis.

Granted, one million will be donated only to the inaugural fund, which will be used to throw a party for Trump and his incoming administration next month. However, I am sure that putting on an event in Washington, D.C., will cost more than a meager million. So yeah, the Trump inauguration fund will take your money, Mark.

In 2017, before dystopian times, the inauguration cost $175 million.

The peaceful transfer of power comes with a massive price tag: When all the bills are added up, the 2017 celebration will cost an estimated $175 million to $200 million. That total includes the official parties and dinners, the concert, the swearing-in at the Capitol, the parade, the inaugural balls and all the police, military and security personnel required to keep everyone safe.

About $70 million will come from private donations, and the taxpayers will foot the rest of the bill.  – The Washington Post

Mark Zuckerberg isn’t trying to show any kind of remorse for his prior actions by donating $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund.

It’s all about power and leverage, and please don’t send me to jail for Mark. Not that Trump would do that, even though he wrote in a book that Mark should spend the rest of his life in prison.

Former President Donald Trump writes in a new book set to be published next week that Mark Zuckerberg plotted against him during the 2020 election and said the Meta chief executive would “spend the rest of his life in prison” if he did it again.

[…]

“Save America,” a Trump-authored coffee table book being released Sept. 3, includes an undated photograph of Trump meeting with Zuckerberg in the White House. Under the photo, Trump writes that Zuckerberg “would come to the Oval Office to see me. He would bring his very nice wife to dinners, be as nice as anyone could be, while always plotting to install shameful Lock Boxes in a true PLOT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT,” Trump added, referring to a $420 million contribution Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, made during the 2020 election to fund election infrastructure.

“He told me there was nobody like Trump on Facebook. But at the same time, and for whatever reason, steered it against me,” Trump continues. “We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison — as will others who cheat in the 2024 Presidential Election.” – Politico

Well, there you have it. But I think it would take more than a million dollars to keep one out of prison, but what do I know? Obviously, it’s just a tax write-off for Mark.

Maybe you should give a lot more, Mark, since you agree with Bernie Sanders that billionaires should not exist. As you said in 2019, “No one deserves to have that much money. ”

And let us never forget that Mark kicked Trump off Facebook and Instagram on January 7, 2021.

But now, Zuckerberg is trying to show that he has turned a new leaf by telling Bloomberg that his social media platform, Facebook, is returning to its original intent—to connect people and less about politics.

Right, tell that to your moderators, Mark, who still want to hide, ban, delete, and demonetize conservative content. Shut up.

But maybe Mark is coming around after all. He did say that Donald J. Trump getting back up after getting shot in the face to pump his fist in the air was one of the most badass things he has seen in his life.

I’m not holding my breath on any of these slick techies who seem to go both ways. The shiny Silicon Valley people and Washington D.C. politicians are not putting your interest at heart. Heck, I’m still waiting on the Musk-Zuck cage fight.

39 more days until the swearing-in of the 47th President, Donald J. Trump.
