Donald Trump Jr. featured Mark Zuckerberg in a disparaging Instagram post despite the Facebook CEO’s apparent efforts to curry the new president’s favor.
President Donald Trump’s eldest son on Wednesday shared a meme that grouped together nine major MAGA world enemies under the caption “the ‘I didn’t elect him’ starter pack.“
Zuckerberg appeared alongside the likes of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Democrat megadonor George Soros on Trump Jr.’s wall of shame—to cheers from his nearly nine million followers.
However, Zuckerberg, who once loudly espoused support for liberal causes, has spent the months since Trump’s election making an increasingly stark shift to the right.
Facebook was among the group of tech companies that donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, earning Zuckerberg a front row seat alongside Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.
In January, he announced that his company was ditching its fact-checking program and moving its moderation operation from blue California to red Texas.
Zuckerberg has also traded in his powersuit and cropped haircut for T-shirts, wild curls, and blingy chains. Last month, he publicly called for corporations to unleash “masculine energy.”
The post also comes a week after Trump Jr.’s hunting and gun lifestyle brand had touted its “promising” conversations with Meta executives about loosening Facebook’s moderation of firearm content.
“Our concerns have been taken seriously,” Field Ethos said on its Instagram.

Even some supporters of Trump Jr.‘s post were confused as to why Zuckerberg featured in the meme, which appears to have been circulating for at least three years.
“What’s the news on zuck ? Lol I thought he was turning around,” commented one user.
“Mr team switcher can’t be trusted,” responded another user, earning almost a 100 likes.
Another commenter emphatically agreed, writing: “Zuckerberg is trying to save himself over what he’s done over the past 10 years. He should NOT be trusted… ever!”
Trump Jr.’s post also slammed writer Yuval Noah Harari, World Economic Forum chief Klaus Schwab, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, and Soros’ son Alex Soros.
