After Ban, Meta Donates $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund Following Zuckerberg Meeting

Dec 12, 2024, 12:00 PM

Meta Platforms Inc., led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural fund. The donation follows a private meeting at Mar-a-Lago in November, where Zuckerberg demonstrated Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses and gifted a pair to Trump. This move appears to be an effort by Zuckerberg to mend relations with Trump after Meta banned him from its platforms three years ago. The donation signals Meta's intention to build a positive relationship with the incoming administration after years of mutual criticism.
