Summary
Meta has donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund, months after Trump publicly threatened CEO Mark Zuckerberg with “life in prison” during the campaign.
The donation follows a recent meeting between Trump and Zuckerberg at Mar-a-Lago and reflects Meta’s complicated relationship with Trump, from aiding his 2016 campaign through Facebook ads to suspending his accounts after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
With Trump poised to shape tech regulation and antitrust policies, Meta’s donation may signal efforts to navigate the administration’s potential impact.
Don’t hold me to this but I heard a rumor that Mark had to get on his knees and kiss Trumps ring.
I heard it was his hog
That doesn’t rule out a ring.
Meta gave the donation, not Zuck personally? Somehow that seems extra sleezy. Not only a payoff, but using someone else’s money to do it.
Something tells me Meta’s fact checking is gonna be even more lax than it already is…
Hey marky mark, got a little shmutz on your nose.
Of course it did, bending the knee so it can run rampant on people’s private data
30 pieces of silver + 2000 years of inflation… Sounds about right
