Jimmy Kimmel Rips Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘Embarrassing’ MAGA Makeover

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday that the company would be scrapping its fact-checking program, moving its moderation teams to Texas, and making Facebook more like Elon Musk’s X.

Zuckerberg’s video was criticized by a lot of pundits as a shameless capitulation to the incoming Trump administration. In his monologue Tuesday, Jimmy Kimmel gave his own thoughts.

Claiming that Zuckerberg has been “kissing Trump’s a-- like it’s the Blarney Stone lately” and noting that he had “showed up to debase himself at Mar-a-Lago shortly after the election,” Kimmel ripped into Zuckerberg’s decision to cut fact-checking from Facebook.

“Oh, good, Facebook’s going to be similar to X,” he joked. “No fact-checkers. This is like Del Taco announcing they’re done with health inspections.”

When Zuckerberg described how his site would be “[getting] rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender,” Kimmel asked about him, “What did Trump do to this woman?”

“What has happened?” Kimmel continued. “Imagine being one of the wealthiest people in the world and making the decision to announce the end of truth as we know it while dressed as Macklemore in 2014.”

Responding to Zuckerberg’s announcement that Meta will be “working with President Trump,” Kimmel replied, “We call it the ol' Suck and Zuck.”

“This is embarrassing,” Kimmel said. ”I’m trying to decide which part is worse: Mark Zuckerberg just flushing whatever dignity he had down Trump’s golden toilet or the fact that he’s clearly transitioning into one of the Golden Girls."

The late night host also joked about the recent news stories about Elon Musk allegedly getting on Trump’s nerves.

“Elon Musk has been renting a private cottage at Mar-a-Lago, which is about 300 feet from Trump’s living quarters," Kimmel said. “Elon’s bedroom is closer to Donald’s than Trump’s is to Melania’s, just to give you an idea.”

Kimmel added, “They say Elon walks in and joins any meeting... He’s Trump’s Kramer, bursting through the door.”
