US newly elected President Donald Trump met Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday. Zuckerberg, whom Trump had once threatened to send to jail, had invited him for dinner at his resort Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Stephen Miller, who was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff for Trump's second term, gave this information.
Miller said Zuckerberg wants to support Trump's economic plans like other businessmen. Tech CEOs are trying to change their company's image after bad relations with Trump.
In an interview with Fox News, Miller said –
Obviously, Mark has his own interests, he has his own company and he has his own agenda. But they have made it clear that they want to support America's national development under Trump's leadership.
Mark Zuckerberg banned Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts after the violence at the US Capitol in January 2021. This ban was lifted after 2 years in 2023. Because of this, the relationship between Trump and Zuckerberg had deteriorated.
Zuckerberg did not support Trump before the election
Zuckerberg has not openly endorsed any candidate during the 2024 presidential elections. However, he praised Trump's response to the deadly attack on Trump and also prayed for him.
Zuckerberg had also accused the Biden administration that some senior officials of the Biden government had pressured him to censor some social media posts related to Covid-19.
Despite this, Trump has been continuously attacking Zuckerberg verbally. Recently, during the election campaign, Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social and threatened to send people to jail who committed fraud in the 2020 elections. In this he mentioned the nickname used for Zuckerberg. 'Zuckerbucks' Was used.
According to the report of Business Today, Zuckerberg has spoken on calls with Trump several times in the last few months. Zuckerberg's meeting with Trump is being seen as a strategy to avoid challenges in the Trump administration.
