Mark Zuckerberg has become the latest former Donald Trump critic to make his way at Mar-a-Lago to break bread with the incoming US president.
The tech mogul had banned Trump from the social media sites Instagram and Facebook, which he owns, following the January 6 riot that the president-elect egged on in an attempt to overthrow the results of the 2020 election. However, The company restored his account in early 2023.
Mark Zuckerberg, now reportedly wants to support president-elect Donald Trump after previously banning him from Instagram and Facebook.
On Wednesday, however, the incoming White House deputy chief of policy, Stephen Miller, told Fox News that Mark Zuckerberg, 40, had dined with Donald Trump at his Florida compound. He also added that Mark Zuckerberg, like other business leaders, wants to support Donald Trump’s economic plans. The tech CEO has been seeking to change his company’s perception on the right following a rocky relationship with President elect Donald Trump.
“Mark, obviously, he has his own interests, and he has his own company, and he has his own agenda,” Miller said. “But he’s made clear that he wants to support the national renewal of America under President Trump’s leadership.”
After Trump survived an assassination attempt in July and pumped his fist saying “fight, fight, fight”, Zuckerberg called it “one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life”.
“Save America,” a Trump-authored coffee table book released on September 3, includes an undated photograph of Trump meeting with Zuckerberg in the White House. Under the photo, Trump writes that Zuckerberg “would come to the Oval Office to see me. He would bring his very nice wife to dinners, be as nice as anyone could be, while always plotting to install shameful Lock Boxes in a true PLOT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT,”
“He told me there was nobody like Trump on Facebook. But at the same time, and for whatever reason, steered it against me,” Trump wrote in the book. “We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
A spokesperson for Meta, Facebook’s parent company, told the BBC: “Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming administration.
“It’s an important time for the future of American Innovation,” the statement added.
