Mark Zuckerberg to Co-Host Reception with GOP Billionaires for Trump Inauguration

Washington: So, guess what? Mark Zuckerberg, the big guy behind Meta, is throwing a reception with some wealthy Republican donors for Donald Trump’s inauguration. This is a pretty big deal, showing how Zuckerberg is cozying up to Trump after some rocky times.

The event is happening next Monday, just before the inaugural balls kick off. It’s not just Zuckerberg; he’s teaming up with some other big names like Miriam Adelson, who’s the widow of a casino mogul, and Tilman Fertitta, who owns the Houston Rockets.

You might remember that Zuckerberg wasn’t exactly a fan of Trump back in the day. He even banned him from Facebook after the Capitol riots in January 2021. But now, it seems like he’s trying to mend fences with the new president.

Meta didn’t have much to say about this, but it’s clear Zuckerberg is making moves. Just last November, he had dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, and his company even donated a cool million to Trump’s inauguration fund.

Oh, and just last week, Zuckerberg announced some changes to how Facebook and Instagram handle content moderation. He’s swapping out third-party fact-checkers for user-generated “community notes.” Trump thinks this change might be because of some threats he made to Zuckerberg. Wild, right?
