Mockery of Zuckerberg and Trump's chummy encounter spreads online

Original: I don't know if I'll ever get over the images of # Zuckerberg & Sir # TrumpVirus giggling and making like two child swee

Commenters are reacting with ridicule to images showing Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump laughing together, with one widely shared post describing them as 'two child sweethearts' and sarcastically calling it 'great business'. The exchange is being framed as cosy cronyism, with hashtags touching on nepotism, AI regulation and alleged emoluments, reflecting distrust of the tech-boss and president aligning interests.

Why now: People are reacting to photos of Zuckerberg and Trump appearing friendly, which they read as a troubling alliance between Big Tech and political power.
