Meta Platforms Inc., led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration fund, marking the company's first-ever contribution to an inaugural event. This donation signifies a shift in the relationship between Zuckerberg and Trump, who have had a tense history, including Trump's previous threats to imprison Zuckerberg over alleged election interference. Last month, Zuckerberg met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, where he held meetings with advisors including Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Nikki Haley, and Tony Blair before having dinner with Trump. During the dinner, Zuckerberg demonstrated Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses and gifted a pair to Trump.
