Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg may be moving toward former President Donald Trump’s camp, according to Mike Benz, the Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online. 

Zuckerberg made headlines when he acknowledged that his social media platform was being pressured by President Joe Biden’s administration and the intelligence community to censor Americans. 

The tech billionaire, in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), admitted that the intelligence agencies pressured his organization to censor the Hunter Biden Laptop story. Zuckerberg revealed that he regrets bowing to the pressure and has implemented measures to prevent platforms from giving in to such demands. 

Benz, while speaking on The Tucker Carlson Show, insisted that Zuckerberg is tired of the constant bullying and pressure from the government and may be shifting towards Donald Trump.

“Mark Zuckerberg said he regretted the censorship action five months ago on Joe Rogan, so it’s no surprise that Zuckerberg expressed that in writing,” Benz told Carlson. “But the fact that he would do it to the Republican chairman of the House Weaponization Committee and that fact that he said he’s no longer supporting Democrats in this election circle, signals to me that he fears the blob now and feels like the Harris administration’s continuity of the Biden administration’s pressure policy. So there’s no amount of flesh that he can give up as a pound to satiate their bloodlust and that he’s turning, if not towards Trump, then towards something that’s against that and trying to provide whatever moral support to that without making a direct contribution to that, to the other side, sort of maintaining the sort of patina of neutrality on financial and, and, messaging grounds.”

Benz noted that Zuckerberg is not following in the footsteps of X owner Elon Musk, who has thrown his support —including financial backing— behind Donald Trump. He, however, insisted that the Facebook founder is strongly moving towards Trump.

“He’s not providing financial support, but he is very strongly motioning there because I think he thinks that the neutrality of a Trump administration, because Trump was neutral, Trump was completely neutral, frankly, to the point where he should not have been,” Benz added.
