Meta donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund
SUMMARY
Meta has donated $1 million to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund, a contribution designated for expenses related to the presidential inauguration. The donation, initially reported by The Wall Street Journal and later confirmed by Meta, comes as the company navigates its relationship with the president-elect. Meta did not contribute to Trump’s 2017 or Joe Biden’s 2021 inaugural funds, making this move unprecedented. Zuckerberg, joined by senior Meta policy executives Joel Kaplan and Kevin Martin, engaged with Trump’s team, including incoming Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, over two days following Thanksgiving. They showcased Meta’s new Ray-Ban smart glasses and discussed policy matters.
