Mark Zuckerberg had dinner with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met President-elect Donald Trump for dinner at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday.

“It’s an important time for the future of American Innovation,” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in a statement shared with The Verge. “Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming Administration.”

Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to Trump, also confirmed the meeting in an interview with Fox News: “Mark Zuckerberg has been very clear about his desire to be a supporter of, and a participant in, this change that we’re seeing all around America, all around the world, with this reform movement that Donald Trump is leading.”

While it’s unclear what the two men discussed, the meeting suggests Trump may be softening his view of Zuckerberg. He has said the tech billionaire should be jailed for Facebook’s role in the 2020 presidential race and his personal donations to mail-in ballot initiatives.

He was also one of the many tech CEOs to congratulate Trump for winning the 2024 election, saying in a post on Threads that he’s “looking forward to working with you and your administration.”
