Mark Zuckerberg Joins Donald Trump for Exclusive Dinner at Mar-a-Lago
Palm Beach, Florida — Former U.S. President Donald Trump hosted an exclusive dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Thursday night, with one of the key attendees being tech mogul Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
According to an AFP report, the dinner was part of Trump’s “National Revival Initiative,” which Zuckerberg reportedly expressed interest in supporting. A Trump advisor suggested that the Meta CEO is carefully working to rebuild his relationship with Trump after years of strained ties.
Tensions between Trump and Zuckerberg escalated in January 2021, following the Capitol riots, when Facebook imposed a ban on Trump from its platform. The dinner signifies a potential thawing in their relationship. Meta’s spokesperson noted that Zuckerberg was “grateful for the opportunity to dine with Trump and meet with members of his new administration.”
Speculation remains over the presence of Elon Musk, another prominent tech figure who has frequently been spotted at Mar-a-Lago since the election. While Musk and Zuckerberg have been at odds publicly — with Musk even challenging Zuckerberg to a “cage match” that never materialized — Musk’s attendance at the dinner remains unconfirmed.
During Trump’s first term, Zuckerberg maintained a cautious stance toward the former president. However, with many in the tech industry now extending congratulations to the Republican leader following his re-election, Zuckerberg has joined the list of prominent figures signaling support.
The event, however, was overshadowed by reports of security threats. The FBI disclosed that multiple bomb threats and hoax calls were directed at Trump’s new cabinet and White House team, raising concerns about their safety.
This high-profile dinner underscores the evolving dynamics between Trump and influential leaders in the tech world as he prepares for his second term in office.
