The "Late Show" host said the tech billionaire is racing to "kiss" Donald Trump's "ass" with the company's changes ahead of the president-elect's inauguration.

With Republicans back in control of both chambers of Congress and calling for new regulation of Big Tech, the Meta CEO is realigning with Trump.

O n Tuesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the social media behemoth will end its third party fact-checking program in the U.S. and instead adopt a crowd-sourced “community notes” program. The inspiration for such a decision? Elon Musk’s X.

It’s also the latest indication that Zuckerberg is trying to buddy up to incoming president Donald Trump, and is in that respect becoming more like Trump’s current right-hand man in tech: Elon Musk.

To researchers who have studied moderation efforts and platforms, it’s the most recent move toward a more freewheeling and unbridled social media environment.

The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact-checkers on Facebook, Threads and Instagram and instead rely on users to add notes to posts. It is likely to please President-elect Trump and his allies.
