Mark Zuckerberg recently shifted his support towards Donald Trump as he works to maintain good relations with the former president. Ten years ago, during Trump’s first term, Zuckerberg was quietly involved in efforts that appeared to weaken Trump’s influence at Meta. Now, under Joel Kaplan, a Republican policy executive driving Meta’s shift, the company has leaned heavily into Trump’s base with policies backed by “MAGA” principles and other Republican-friendly changes. This strategic pivot reflects Zuckerberg’s growing alignment with Trump as he seeks to expand his influence within the platform and prepare for future opportunities.
