Trump claims Zuckerberg will vote for him after Assassination attempt - Zuckerberg denies



Tommy Vietor
So for all the claims of Big Tech bias, you now have Elon Musk owning Twitter and running super PAC ads for Trump, and Mark Zuckerberg saying he could never vote for a Democrat.

Trump tells Olivia Nuzzi that after his near-assassination, Mark Zuckerberg called him and told him "there's no way I can vote for a Democrat in this election"

The Afterlife of Donald Trump At home at Mar-a-Lago, the presidential hopeful contemplates miracles, his campaign, and his formidable new opponent.

When I asked if he had been afraid in those moments when he heard the gunshots, when he felt the smack, when he saw the blood, he said, “I didn’t think of fear. I didn’t think of it.” In Trump’s understanding, fear is not a feeling but an idea that you may choose to entertain — or not. He moved right along to an idea he preferred to think of. “You know, I got so many nice calls from people I really don’t know. Jeff Bezos called. He said, ‘It is the most incredible thing I’ve ever watched.’ And he appreciated what I did, in the sense of getting up and letting people know,” he said. “I said, ‘Despite the fact that you own the Washington Post, I appreciate it.’ He couldn’t have been nicer. Mark Zuckerberg called up and said, ‘I’ve never supported a Republican before, but there’s no way I can vote for a Democrat in this election.’ He’s a guy that, his parents, everybody was always Democrat. He said, ‘I will never vote for the people running against you after watching what you did.’ So I mean, people really appreciated it. I don’t — I think it was very natural what I did. I think it was natural.” (Amazon did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson at Meta said, “As Mark has said publicly, he’s not endorsing anybody in this race and has not communicated to anybody how he intends to vote.”)
