Mark Zuckerberg meets Trump and other members of his administration at Mar-a-Lago
The pair recently indicated that the relationship could be on the mend, when Trump stated last month that he felt better about the Facebook founder, after he stayed out of the 2024 election and called him after the July 13 shooting.
Facebook creator and Mega owner Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday met with President-elect Donald Trump and members of his incoming administration, in the latest sign the duo are hoping to move forward together.
Trump and Zuckerberg have had a rough relationship over the years, with Trump slamming the social media owner for donating hundreds of millions of dollars to help election infrastructure in 2020. Trump has also claimed Zuckerberg should be in jail for election interference over the donations, Politico reported.
The pair recently indicated that the relationship could be on the mend, when Trump stated last month that he felt better about the Facebook founder, after he stayed out of the 2024 election and called the former president following the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump.
Trump's new deputy chief-of-staff on Wednesday confirmed reports that the duo was meeting at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, telling Fox News that Zuckerberg "has made it very clear about his desire to be a supporter of and a participant in this change that we’re seeing all around America, all around the world, this reform movement that Donald Trump is leading.”
A spokesperson for Meta also confirmed the meeting, according to Politico.
"Mark ... obviously has his own interest and he has his own company and his own agenda, but he’s made clear he wants to support the national renewal of America under Trump’s leadership," Miller added.
