Good thing Mr Zuckerberg is a shining beacon of independence from the US government.

He's not a formally designated foreign adversary, at least not yet.

The difference is you can easily prosecute Zuck

Easily? No. Within the bounds of the US Constitution, yes.

No. Zuck is very securely within the class of citizens that is immune to prosecution within the US.

I’m sure he’s bending at the knee right now because he feels very secure and just had a change of heart about everything precisely one month after the election.

Is he bending the knee, or dropping the mask? The billionaire+ class rightly sees this as their big opportunity to seize power for the next several generations, removing worker and consumer protections and enshrining themselves as essential parts of the government.

Why is this true of Zuck but was not true of SBF?

coldpie a year ago | parent [-]

He was just a dumb get-rich-quick kid, he didn't have any political power. Zuck has spent the past 2 decades gathering money and power.

How did SBF manage to be the #2 Democratic donor in 2022 without accruing any political power?

By being a moron.

Gigabillionaires with immense influence don't get prosecuted.
