Break-Up of Facebook (2022)
Following the impeachment and resignation of Donald J. Trump in December of 2019, outsider candidate Mike Gravel was able to successfully win against Pence in the 2020 election. One of Gravel's policies was the break up of Facebook which he was successful in doing. Following the breakup of Facebook, Zuckerberg would use his money to create the TechnocracyPAC, which would lobby in Congress against President Gravel and in favor of "pro-tech legislation". With Gravel's death in 2023, Zuckerberg would continue his adversarial lobbying against Gravel's successor Tulsi Gabbard.

Nikki Haley's Presidency (2025-2033)
In the 2024 Presidential election, Republican Nikki Haley successfully defeated incumbent President Tulsi Gabbard. Zuckerberg poured large amounts of money into the candidacy of Howard Schultz in an attempt to split the Democratic vote and stop Gabbard from implementing any further trust-busts against Silicon Valley companies. Haley's Presidency saw the purchase of Greenland from Denmark and U.S. military intervention in Belize following a civil war in the country. Despite winning re-election in 2028 and a relatively strong market, the United States lagged behind in technology while the European Union and China continued their rise assisting in the Mars landings while also embracing genetic modification and renewable energy. It was Haley's inaction that would lead to the rise of the Transhumanist Party and the Presidency of Mark Zuckerberg.
