What is more bizar is that Zuck promised to spend 200B a year while the revenue of Meta is just 150B. You'd expect him to know that 600B is completely unrealistic. 56 FuzzyMcBitty • 7h My assumption is that he's with Trump, so numbers are whatever. He (Trump) said that drug prices have gone down 1500%.

Apple CEO Tim Cook was in the Oval Office last month, a piece of Apple-shaped glass and a 24-karat gold base in hand, to pledge another $100 billion in US investment over the next four years, for a total of $600 billion. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg perhaps had that number on his mind this week when he joined his fellow Silicon Valley heavy hitters at the White House for a dinner with President Trump. Zuckerberg was seated next to the president, who at one point leaned over and asked him, "How much are you spending, would you say, over the next few years?" A flustered Zuckerberg responded, "Oh gosh, um, l mean, I think it's probably going to be something like, at least $600 billion through '28 in the US, yeah." "That's a lot, that's a lot," Trump said. It is indeed. Once the discussion concluded, Zuckerberg leaned over to Trump to privately admit the president had caught him off guard. "I'm sorry I wasn't ready.../ wasn't sure what number you wanted to go with," Zuckerberg said in a revealing moment caught on a hot mic. Meta would have to dramatically ramp up its Al spending to hit $600 billion in the next three years.

The lying, the manipulation, it’s sickening for me to see how the cult leader actuality rejoices when he hears someone lying so blatantly for him because it gives him the feeling of having control over someone.

Can’t believe he succeeded in making #ZuckaMAGAcuck too 🤢.
