Meta donates $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund after Zuckerberg's Mar-a-Lago meeting

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.
