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.
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.
Hey marky mark, got a little shmutz on your nose.
Something tells me Meta’s fact checking is gonna be even more lax than it already is…
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
