Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s sudden affection for President-elect Donald Trump is turning heads, as the tech mogul made a visit to Mar-a-Lago, undoubtedly looking to slip into the good graces of the soon-to-be commander-in-chief. This meeting comes hot on the heels of Zuckerberg having dodged accountability while testifying before Congress, where he conveniently brushed aside accusations of anti-conservative bias. It seems that his newfound eagerness to align with Trump’s vision for America might just be driven by self-preservation in a landscape shifting under his feet.
Here's Why Mark Zuckerberg Had Dinner With Trump At Mar-a-Lago

Reports indicate that Zuckerberg views Trump as a catalyst for what could be termed “national renewal,” as confirmed by Trump adviser Stephen Miller. Apparently, Zuckerberg believes that Trump’s second term could pull the country out of its current malaise, despite Meta’s reputation for throttling conservative voices and pushing a distinctly left-wing agenda. The meeting at Mar-a-Lago, framed as a familial dinner for like-minded individuals, reeks of Zuckerberg’s desperate attempt to broker a better relationship with a man he had openly censored and marginalized not long ago.
In a strange twist of fate, Zuckerberg was described as “grateful” for the dinner invitation, a statement that paints a picture of a tech titan suddenly humbled by the prospect of engaging with part of America that he had previously sought to silence through corporate censorship. In a dramatic shift, Zuckerberg has started praising Trump, calling him courageous for his resilience after an assassination attempt, openly admiring the “bada**” move of pumping his fists in the air. It appears that the gravity of the situation has finally dawned on Zuckerberg—maybe because all the cool tech perks won’t be so appealing when they come at the cost of government scrutiny.
Not too long ago, Zuckerberg was in hot water for allegedly helping the Democratic Party rig the 2020 election and participating in the censorship of Trump while simultaneously endorsing policies that benefited leftist agendas. Yet, now he finds himself embracing Trump, claiming he respects him too much to back any Democratic contender. This 180-degree flip raises eyebrows and questions whether Zuckerberg’s sincerity can outweigh his past record of meddling in politics and pushing a narrative that favored one party over another.
Wisconsin voters, meanwhile, might be rolling their eyes at this sudden dalliance. Zuckerberg has already left a questionable mark with his funding of ballot drop boxes—an act that the state’s Supreme Court ruled was against the law. So, while Zuckerberg now fabricates a narrative of support for Trump, many are left wondering if this is merely a strategic maneuver to keep his company’s operations afloat in a vastly altered political climate. It begs the question: when it comes to Zuckerberg, should anyone really be trusting the intentions of a man who has repeatedly chosen political expediency over integrity?
