Donald Trump hasn’t been a fan of Facebook nor of its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. In a coffee table book — published in September this year — Trump threatened to put Zuckerberg in prison. “He told me there was nobody like Trump on Facebook. But at the same time, and for whatever reason, steered it against me,” Trump said 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 — as will others who cheat in the 2024 Presidential Election,” the US president-elect had warned.
However, it looks like Zuckerberg is building his bridges with Trump and his incoming administration. According to a report by The Verge, Zuckerberg had dinner with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago private club.
“It’s an important time for the future of American Innovation,” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in a statement shared with The Verge. “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.”
The agenda of the dinner meeting between Zuckerberg and Trump hasn’t been revealed.
Earlier this year after Trump survived an assassination attempt, Zuckerberg said that it was “one of the most badass things I have ever seen in my life.”
After Trump won the 2024 presidential election, Zuckerberg took to Threads and congratulated the president-elect. “Congratulations to President Trump on a decisive victory. We have great opportunities ahead of us as a country. Looking forward to working with you and your administration,” wrote Zuckerberg.
