Meta CEO Zuckerberg dines with Trump at Mar-a-Lago
2024-11-28
“Please don’t hurt me”
[IsraelTimes] Unclear if billionaire Elon Musk, a close Trump ally who previously challenged Meta CEO to cage match fight, also attended meal, though he has frequently been present at resort.

Mark Zuckerberg
...the Peewee Herman clone who owns Facebook. He's got more money than Croesus and thinks he should be regulated by the government because it does such a nifty job with all the other stuff it regulates....
 joined Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
 for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate Wednesday, with an advisor to the president-elect saying the tech billionaire "wants to support the national renewal of America."
The 40-year-old chief executive of Meta — which owns Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp — has been carefully trying to mend ties with Trump.

Both men have had a strained relationship over the years, with Facebook being among social media networks that banned Trump after the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

But on Wednesday, a Meta spokesperson said: "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."

In a statement, the spokesperson added that it was an important time for the future of American innovation.

It was not immediately clear if billionaire Elon Musk, a close Trump ally who previously challenged Zuckerberg to a cage match fight, also attended the dinner, though he has frequently been present at Mar-a-Lago since the election.

#7  I wonder if this meeting was just something Trump set up to subtly intimidate Zuckerberg.

Something Kings and Emperors did back in the day was to invite their enemies to a meeting, act politely, praise them, get them relaxed and then just mention 'something' in passing before they left that would insure that the 'new friend' would understand that any infraction WOULD be met with their devastation.

#3   It gets worse for Zuck.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, who in 2020 gave $350 million to the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a small Chicago-based nonprofit for Ballot Drop Boxes decided to visit Pres Trump. Zuckerberg knows what is coming and its not going to be pretty. Release the communications between Facebook, Obama, Rice, Hillary, Biden, with WH officials. You know its coming.
