Zuckerberg, who has had a tumultuous relationship with Trump in the past, visited with the former president at his Palm Beach resort last month. He has also met with incoming members of Trump’s administration, including his choice for Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. According to public records, the billionaire CEO did not donate to President Joe Biden’s inaugural fund in 2021 or Trump’s fund in 2017. Zuckerberg has previously donated to congressional elections in both parties. He also provided hundreds of millions of dollars, branded as “Zuckerbucks,” to help with electoral infrastructure in 2020.

In October, Trump stated that he felt better about the Facebook founder because he did not run in the 2024 race and contacted the former president following Trump’s assassination attempt on July 13. According to the Wall Street Journal, Zuckerberg has expressed optimism about Trump’s presidency and told the House in August that his goal is to remain politically impartial. Trump is scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2025.
