He said Trump\u2019s cordial relationships with people like Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, among others, have enticed tech companies to further his political agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd they build a tool, and they make more money by tearing people down. They make more money by dividing people,\u201d Biden told Carlson. \u201cThey make more money, and so, they just let the algorithm roll, and it\u2019s tearing us apart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am not this believer that Trump is merely the symptom of a disease. I believe that Trump is central to why this disease has gone from a local epidemic to a pandemic in the United States of America,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats have broadly criticized corporate leaders\u2019 involvement with the White House, as well as attempted to limit the accelerating spread of the tech industry. In June, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said in an interview with Fox News that large tech companies are seeking \u201ctotally unchecked power\u201d and should be split up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former president\u2019s son has taken an active stance in the Democratic Party ahead of the 2026 midterms. Last week, Biden made headlines for his Friday appearance on BBC\u2019s \u201cNewsnight,\u201d where he told the outlet that his father\u2019s cancer had spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden also reflected on the presidential pardon his father granted him in 2024, ridding him of three felony charges, in his interview with the BBC. The president\u2019s son told the outlet that he believes the move was \u201cnot good\u201d for his father\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has remained a staunch critic of his predecessor\u2019s son and family. In a Truth Social post following the pardon, the president called the decision \u201can abuse and miscarriage of justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his conversation with Carlson, Biden also commended former MAGA-aligned Republicans who have since strayed from the president \u2014 including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) \u2014 and \u201cwoken up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, took a swipe at President Trump Monday, describing him as an \u201cexistential threat\u201d to the U.S. During an interview with conservative media personality Tucker Carlson, the former president\u2019s son blamed wealthy tech leaders for the country\u2019s current divide.
