Mark Zuckerberg met with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, signaling a growing relationship between the Meta chief and the president-elect as Trump prepares for his second term.
The meeting, which took place on Wednesday, was seen as an important moment for American innovation. Zuckerberg expressed gratitude for the invitation to join Trump for dinner and engage with members of his team regarding the incoming Administration.
While the specifics of their discussion remain undisclosed, reports indicate that Zuckerberg had been in contact with Trump in the months leading up to the election. Following an assassination attempt on Trump's life in July, Zuckerberg praised the president-elect for his resilience, describing his reaction as 'one of the most badass things I've ever seen.'
However, tensions between the two were evident as Trump accused Zuckerberg of 'plotting' against him in a book released earlier this year. Trump went as far as threatening Zuckerberg with 'life in prison' if any illegal activities were conducted during the election, emphasizing strict consequences for those involved in cheating during the 2024 Presidential Election.
Trump's advisor, Stephen Miller, confirmed the meeting during an interview on Fox News, highlighting Zuckerberg's expressed desire to support and engage in the reform movement led by Trump across America and globally.
