No. Zuck is very securely within the class of citizens that is immune to prosecution within the US.

I’m sure he’s bending at the knee right now because he feels very secure and just had a change of heart about everything precisely one month after the election.

Is he bending the knee, or dropping the mask? The billionaire+ class rightly sees this as their big opportunity to seize power for the next several generations, removing worker and consumer protections and enshrining themselves as essential parts of the government.

He was just a dumb get-rich-quick kid, he didn't have any political power. Zuck has spent the past 2 decades gathering money and power.

How did SBF manage to be the #2 Democratic donor in 2022 without accruing any political power?
