After centuries of wall against him, former president Donald Trump has now found new love for Mark Zuckerberg.

Trump claimed in an interview with Fox Business on Friday that Mark Zuckerberg had lately apologized to him for Meta’s AI assistant lying about the Trump assassination attempt. ( A company blog post written by Joel Kaplan, Meta’s global head of policy, attributed the erroneous responses to “hallucinations” in the system. ) Trump claimed that both Meta and Google were” RIGGING THE ELECTION!” in a post on his social media platform Truth Social! by keeping the shooting’s details a secret.

Zuckerberg’s explanation could help melt his controversial connection with Trump, who has held a long, open grievance against Meta and its chief executive.

” I believe Mark Zuckerberg, he called me a lot. They are working on it, which they, in my opinion, fixed. He’s not doing what he did five years ago, with the$ 500 million dollars, I do n’t believe”.

Trump’s$ 500 million statement may have made up inaccurate information about how Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, planned to spend$ 400 million to elect Joe Biden in 2020. Instead of giving those resources to Biden, Zuckerberg and his wife went to two volunteer organizations that supported state and local governments in order to compensate for election administration.

Trump even claimed that Zuckerberg praised his handling of being shot at, and that Zuckerberg had criticized him for standing up for a Democrat in the current vote.

” Mark Zuckerberg called me — first of all, he called me a few times”, Trump said. ” He called me after the occasion and he said,’ That was really wonderful, it was really fearless.’ And because he respected me for what I did that day, he actually said he wo n’t support a Democrat because he ca n’t.

When asked for comment, Meta spokesman Dany Lever directed Andy Stone, the mind of Meta connections, to a blog on X in which it was noted that Zuckerberg had not supported individuals in the past.

Trump’s grievance against Google, but, endures.

” Google, nothing called from Google”, Trump said during the Fox Business meeting. Google has been accused of “censoring” search term related to the firing at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. Trump and the traditional media have continued to criticise Google of suppressing information in a string on X, but Google Communications posted a thread refuting those assertions.

” Google has been very negative. They’ve been pretty irresponsible”, Trump said. He said Google may be” close to shut down” by Congress. ” Google has to be careful”, he said.
