Zuckerberg said the speech he gave Tuesday may have had a political bent, but it wasn't about a specific person. Trump's campaign seems to disagree.
James Martin/CNETDonald Trump's campaign doesn't appreciate Mark Zuckerberg's Idea.
Facebook's CEO kicked off the company's F8 developer conference Tuesday with a thinly veiled shot at the front ruer for the Republican Party's presidential nomination. "I hear fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as others," Zuckerberg said onstage. "If the world starts to tu inwards, then our community will just have to work even harder to bring people together."
It appears the Trump campaign was not amused.
"I think I'll take Mark Zuckerberg seriously when he gives up all of his private security, moves out of his posh neighborhood and comes live in a modest neighborhood near a border town," Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson told CNBC. "And then I'm sure his attitude would change."
The dust up between the two billionaires comes as Zuckerberg has been playing a more hands-on role on the world stage. In the past year, for example, he's met with world leaders including President Barack Obama, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping. He's also spoken out on social issues such as vaccines and terrorism.
Zuckerberg has indirectly criticized Trump before, saying he didn't agree with the candidate's anti-Muslim rhetoric. But in a followup post on Facebook, Zuckerberg said he wasn't talking about one person or one country. He just wanted to share his hope for coecting people around the world. "It's about having the courage to choose hope over fear," he wrote.
Trump's campaign fired back anyway, saying "self-righteousness isn't very productive."
"We can talk about taxes, we can talk about jobs and even immigration, but that doesn't really put food on the table and save lives," said Pierson.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for further comment. A Facebook spokeswoman declined to comment beyond Zuckerberg's speech and post.
