Meta donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
The donation comes amid a thaw in relations between Trump and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, with Zuckerberg paying a visit to Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club in Florida two weeks ago, according to The WSJ. Zuckerberg and Meta did not donate to Trump’s inaugural fund in 2017 or to President Biden’s fund in 2021. (RELATED: Mark Zuckerberg Now Reportedly Identifies As A Libertarian)
Trump and Zuckerberg had displayed hostility towards one another in the past, with Meta banning Trump from posting following the Jan. 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol riots, and Trump stating in a book in August that Zuckerberg would “spend the rest of his life in prison” if he tried to influence the 2024 election.
