Zuckerberg, who was close to Obama, is now a special to Trump: President threatened to send him to jail, now working together to make AI rules

Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg was once close to US President Barack Obama. In 2021, when Facebook and Instagram closed Trump's account, he threatened to send Zuckerberg to jail. But now the situation has changed. After Trump became president again, Zuckerberg has improved relations with Trump. Now Zuckerberg's influence is also being seen in decisions related to AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence. He has a big role in drafting the AI security agreement. How Zuckerberg Repaired His Deteriorating Relationship With Trump After the attack on the US Congress in 2021, Facebook and Instagram banned Trump's accounts. The company feared that Trump's posts could lead to more violence. Trump was angry with this decision. He accused Zuckerberg of conspiring against him and also threatened him with life imprisonment. The improvement in the relationship between the two began in July 2024. During an election rally in Pennsylvania, Trump was fatally attacked. After this incident, Zuckerberg said that Trump's standing up and waving hands after being shot was one of the most wonderful events he had seen in his life. A few weeks after Zuckerberg's praise, Trump also showed a soft attitude towards him. He said that now he likes Zuckerberg more than before. What did he do to get closer to Trump? After Trump was re-elected as president, Zuckerberg took several steps to improve his relationship with him. Zuckerberg benefits from his proximity to Trump The impact of the growing closeness between Trump and Zuckerberg is also being seen on government decisions. Zuckerberg prepared an initial draft of the AI security agreement with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. It was finalized at a meeting between Trump and the heads of tech companies at the White House last week. The purpose of the agreement is to set standards for AI, enforce them, and get them tested. Zuckerberg believes that concerns related to the security of AI can be removed with technological improvements. However, it is not legally binding and does not have a provision to take strict action against companies. Friendship with Trump could also be heavy going forward. According to CNN, Zuckerberg is benefiting from getting close to Trump, but it can also be harmful. If the Democratic Party gets a majority in the US Congress in November or becomes its president in 2028, Meta may face tough questions. Last month, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote a letter to Meta asking how much money the company had given to Republican organizations and Trump's favorite projects. She alleged that Meta spent a lot of money to keep Trump happy and now it is benefiting. Some of Trump's old associates also do not trust Zuckerberg. They feel that there is no ideology behind Zuckerberg's changed politics, but an attempt to benefit his company. That is, the Trump with whom Zuckerberg once clashed with him, today he is playing a role in the decisions related to the future of AI along with the same Trump. But how long this friendship will last will determine the direction of the upcoming election and American politics.
