In one moment that was widely shared on social media, Trump resorted to Zuckerberg and asks, “How much will you spend, you will say, during the next few years?” Zuckerberg replied, “Maybe it will be something like, I don’t know, at least $ 600 billion through (20) 28 in the United States.” Trump appears to agree. “This is a lot, thank you Mark, it’s a great thing to be for you.”

But it was a hot microphone moment that was later taken between the two, which was especially informed. Zuckerberg apologizes to Trump and apologizes and says, “Sorry, I was not ready … I was not sure of the number you wanted to go with.”
