Mark Zuckerberg's Meta donates $1m to Trump fund


It appears to be the latest attempt by the Meta boss to build a closer relationship with the incoming president.

Meta has donated $1m to a inauguration fund for Donald Trump, in another sign of the tech giant's boss, Mark Zuckerberg, attempting to build bridges with the president-elect. Trump wrote in a book published in September that Mr Zuckerberg would "spend the rest of his life in prison" if he tried to intervene in the 2024 election. He told a podcast in October it was "nice" Mr Zuckerberg was "staying out of the election", and thanked him for a personal phone call after he faced an assassination attempt.
