All Big Tech leaders have made their way to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence over the past few weeks to potentially influence upcoming tech policies, with most of them contributing $1 million dollars to his inaugural fund.

Meta and Mark Zuckerberg

In the wake of the riots at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed concerns about further incitement of violence and proceeded to ban then-President Trump from Facebook and Instagram (The ban was lifted in 2023).

Until last year, Trump had repeatedly said that the tech billionaire should be thrown in jail for Facebook’s role in the 2020 presidential race and alleged personal contributions to mail-in ballot initiatives.

However, Zuckerberg appears to have made nice with Trump since then. He had praised Trump after the assassination attempt against the latter. Shortly after Trump’s electoral victory, Zuckerberg was seen dining with the president at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
