Meta donates $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund in latest step to mend relationship

Meta has donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund, the company confirmed to CNN.

The news comes two weeks after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with Trump privately at Mar-a-Lago. The donation was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

CNN has reported that Zuckerberg is angling for a more active role in shaping the upcoming administration’s tech policy. It’s a major reversal from nearly four years ago when Meta banned Trump from its platforms after the January 6, 2021, insurrection.
