Mark Zuckerberg dines with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago

Relations appear to have improved markedly from Trump's threat earlier this year to throw the Meta boss in jail.

But Trump subsequently softened his position, telling a podcast in October it was "nice" Mr Zuckerberg was "staying out of the election", and thanking him for a personal phone call after he faced an assassination attempt. "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," a Meta spokesperson told the BBC. In August this year, Mr Zuckerberg spoke of his regret at de-promoting content relating to allegations about Joe Biden's son Hunter, which had been a right-wing talking point in the US prior to the 2020 presidential election.
