Mark Zuckerberg's Meta donates $1m to Trump fund
www.bbc.com
It appears to be the latest attempt by the Meta boss to build a closer relationship with the incoming president.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has donated $1m (£786,000) to an inauguration fund for President-elect Donald Trump.

The tech giant’s boss, Mark Zuckerberg, dined with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in November, having sought to repair his and his firm’s relationship with Trump following the election.

Trump has previously been highly critical of Mr Zuckerberg and Facebook - calling the platform “anti-Trump” in 2017.

Meta is not believed to have made similar donations to President Joe Biden’s inaugural fund in 2020 or to Trump’s previous inaugural fund in 2016.

The company confirmed its million-dollar donation to the inaugural fund to several outlets on Wednesday.

    I can’t wait for people to complain about this on Facebook and Instagram, right before doomscrolling for hours.

    I hope I’m wrong.
