Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has donated $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund, marking a significant shift in the tech CEO's relationship with the incoming president. This donation, unusual for Meta and Zuckerberg, follows a private meeting at Mar-a-Lago where Zuckerberg showcased Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses to Trump. The move comes amidst a trend of wealthy CEOs, including Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, seeking closer ties with the former and future president.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Zuckerberg’s Meta has donated a cool $1 million to Donald Trump ’s inauguration fund, the latest effort by the tech CEO to “bolster his once-fraught relationship with the incoming president.” To be clear, Meta and Zuckerberg do not regularly give out political donations of this kind; according to the Journal, neither Zuckerberg nor the company donated to Trump’s first inaugural fund or to Joe Biden’s fund in 2021.
Even before Trump’s November win, billionaires had signaled that they would absolutely not be standing up to the guy, despite clearly believing him to be a threat. Bill Gates reportedly donated approximately $50 million to a nonprofit that supported Kamala Harris’s run, attempting to do so in secret, and did not publicly endorse the VP.
