Summary

Mark Zuckerberg is courting Donald Trump’s incoming administration, aligning Meta with MAGA politics, to secure a potential TikTok ban, which would significantly benefit his company.

Meta has lobbied aggressively against TikTok, portraying it as a Chinese threat to U.S. values and privacy.

While Meta denies direct involvement, it has a history of pushing anti-TikTok narratives.

Trump, who once threatened Zuckerberg with jail, holds leverage over the ban decision.

Critics argue Zuckerberg’s pivot reflects opportunism, leveraging China’s dominance to deflect attention from Meta’s own controversies.
