Meta's $1 Million Donation to Trump's Inauguration Fund Sparks Controversy

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta makes a surprising $1 million commitment to support President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, reviving tensions from their tumultuous past.


The recent donation from Meta to Donald Trump's inaugural fund has triggered discussions about the relationship between the tech giant and the incoming president. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta, previously faced backlash from Trump, particularly after Facebook suspended Trump's accounts for his comments surrounding the January 6 Capitol unrest. Despite their historical differences, Zuckerberg's donation indicates a shift in strategy as he aims to mend ties with the new administration. Notably, Meta's support contrasts with its lack of contributions to both President Biden's inaugural efforts and Trump’s previous fund. The move has not gone unnoticed, as commentators speculate it may be an attempt to align more closely with a potentially influential figure in politics moving forward. As the political landscape evolves, the implications of such donations become a focal point for public discourse and scrutiny.

Meta confirms $1 million donation to Trump's inauguration amid turbulent history between Zuckerberg and the former president.
