Meta donates $1m to Trump's inaugural fund

Meta Platforms confirmed a US$1 million donation to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund.

This donation signifies a strategic shift by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

During the election, Zuckerberg did not endorse either Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

Previously, Trump criticized Meta, alleging suppression of content potentially affecting the 2020 election outcome.

The former president also questioned Zuckerberg regarding donations aimed at election infrastructure improvements.
