The left hates it when Trump wins.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is facing massive backlash after a hot mic moment exposed his efforts to curry favor with President Donald Trump, showing just how far Big Tech leaders will go to align with Trump’s America-First agenda.
The exchange took place at a high-profile White House Tech Summit on Thursday evening. Zuckerberg was seated right next to President Trump as they discussed the future of artificial intelligence investments in the United States — a topic with huge implications for jobs, national security, and the economy.
The Viral Hot Mic Moment
During the event, President Trump asked Zuckerberg directly:
Trump: “How much is Meta planning to spend on U.S. AI infrastructure over the next few years?”
Zuckerberg appeared caught off guard, fumbling for an answer:
Zuckerberg: “Oh gosh… I think it’s probably going to be something like, I don’t know, at least $600 billion through 2028 in the U.S.”
But moments later, while he thought no one could hear him, Zuckerberg leaned toward Trump and quietly admitted:
“I’m sorry… I wasn’t sure what number you wanted to go with.”
This private remark was picked up by a hot mic and immediately went viral, sparking outrage across social media. Clips of the exchange spread like wildfire, amplified by influencers and news outlets.
Democrats Erupt in Fury
Liberals wasted no time attacking Zuckerberg, accusing him of “sucking up” to Trump and lying to the American people.
Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) shared the clip, writing:
“It’s shameful to see how far these tech billionaires will go to cozy up to Trump — even throwing out fake numbers while hurting everyday Americans.”
Even veteran journalist Paul Farhi criticized the statement, noting that Meta’s total assets were just $295 billion as of June 30, making a $600 billion investment claim “beyond unrealistic.”
Trump’s Unmatched Influence Over Big Tech
This friendly moment is a sharp contrast to past tensions between Trump and Zuckerberg.
During the 2020 election, Trump repeatedly accused Zuckerberg and other Big Tech executives of censoring conservatives and meddling in elections.
Trump issued a warning last year:
“If Zuckerberg or anyone else engages in illegal election interference in 2024, they will spend the rest of their lives in prison. No exceptions.”
Thursday’s viral exchange signals a major shift, showing that even the most powerful tech billionaires are now eager to align themselves with Trump as he reshapes America’s political and economic landscape.
Why This Matters
- Election Integrity: Trump has vowed to hold Big Tech accountable for past censorship and interference.
- Economic Impact: A $600 billion AI investment — real or exaggerated — would affect millions of American jobs and the future of U.S. innovation.
- Political Power: The incident highlights Trump’s continued dominance in American politics, despite relentless attacks from Democrats and the media.
The Bottom Line
The Left is furious that a major tech CEO dared to publicly support President Trump.
But for millions of conservatives, this viral moment proves that Trump’s leadership and vision for America are so powerful that even Big Tech billionaires are now falling in line.
As Trump moves closer to reclaiming the White House, expect more desperate attacks from Democrats and their media allies — and more unexpected allies stepping up to support the President’s America-First agenda.
