Mark Zuckerberg donated $1 million to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund, ended Facebook’s fact-checking program, and shelved Meta’s DEI initiatives. According to sources close to Trump, these actions mark the beginning of Zuckerberg’s efforts to curry favor with the president. A Trump administration official stated, “There is a lot more ass-kissing that needs to be done. He just needs to prove himself.” While Zuckerberg publicly criticized Biden and societal trends toward emasmentation, his comments on Joe Rogan’s podcast suggested alignment with Trump’s vision. Dana White’s addition to Meta was seen as part of Zuckerberg’s broader strategy. A White House official warned they will monitor how Zuckerberg follows through. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg has shown interest in other areas beyond DEI.
