Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg might get into trouble if Donald Trump gets re-elected as the US President. The latter has allegedly threatened to imprison Zuckerberg in his address to "election fraudsters." In an outspoken post on his social media platform Truth Social earlier this week, Trump vowed to jail those involved in the alleged election fraud if he gets re-elected later this November.
"All I can say is that if I'm elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time," Trump wrote on Truth Social. Trump is committing another crime by illegally threatening people, including Mark Zuckerberg, with prison sentences for encouraging voter registration. This blatant threat violates election laws.

According to Business Insider, Trump's threat was part of his post about the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act which requires proof of citizenship from voters to be eligible for voting in the US.
