The boss of Meta, parent company of Facebook in particular, “was very clear about his desire to support and participate in this change that we are seeing all around America,” he declared. “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,” a Meta spokesperson said.
Facebook banned Trump after Capitol assault
While they had been cautious during Donald Trump’s first term, tech bosses, like Elon Musk, were quick to welcome his victory in November, and Mark Zuckerberg was one of those who congratulated him.
Mark Zuckerberg ended his election-related philanthropic activities and his Meta group changed its algorithms to reduce political content.
He previously said he would not renew the Covid-era initiative to fund nonprofits that support U.S. election infrastructure, with Republicans viewing such donations as partisan.
Facebook was one of the social networks that banned Donald Trump after the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
