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.
“Donation”
Someone bought $1M of something behind closed doors. Plus a sweet tax write-off.
He ain’t going to be the only one. US President can threaten anyone with impunity, the courts have already shown that.
Don’t hold me to this but I heard a rumor that Mark had to get on his knees and kiss Trumps ring.
I heard it was his hog
That doesn’t rule out a ring.
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.
He knows that the incoming administration is fully dedicated to supporting billionaires and the wealthy.
Somebody ask him if he sees any more of those Mar-a-largo documents the FBI is looking for while he’s up that ass.
Something tells me Meta’s fact checking is gonna be even more lax than it already is…
Hey marky mark, got a little shmutz on your nose.
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
Almost seems a nominal donation for them. 0.3 % of Meta’s gross daily profit.
