In 2020, after a post on his Facebook account was labeled as 'potentially misleading,' Trump criticized Facebook for 'fact-checking on social media, which is supposed to allow free speech, and is an act of censorship and editing,' and called for a rectification of the situation.

Although the relationship between the two had cooled, Zuckerberg, aware of the possibility that Trump would win the 2024 presidential election, is reportedly working to repair his relationship with Trump. According to sources, he had two telephone conversations with Trump in the summer of 2024, and when Trump was shot in July 2024, he conveyed the message, 'I pray for Trump's recovery.'
A Meta executive expressed hope that 'Zuckerberg's gentle approach to Trump could help build a new relationship with him as he takes over as president of the next administration.'
