While Facebook blocked Donald Trump's profile in 2021 after the assault on the Capitol, the social media boss is trying to improve his relations with the president-elect before his inauguration in January.

Mark Zuckerberg met Donald Trump during a dinner this Wednesday, November 27 at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, at a time when one of the tech billionaires seeks to improve his relations with the president-elect, who will be invested in January. The future deputy director of the presidential office Stephen Miller confirmed the meeting between the two men on the Fox News channel, specifying that the tech boss had “made clear that he wanted to support America's national renewal under the leadership of President Trump”.

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”added Stephen Miller. “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”for his part announced a spokesperson for Meta.

Less political content on Facebook

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. Facebook was one of the social networks that banned Donald Trump after the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

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.
