Zuckerberg and Trump Meet Amid Regulatory Talks

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, signaling a potential thaw in their previously contentious relationship. Despite past threats from Trump to jail Zuckerberg over alleged election interference, both parties expressed openness to collaboration under the incoming administration. Zuckerberg publicly congratulated Trump on his electoral victory, emphasizing the importance of American innovation and expressing support for Trump's reform movement. The meeting follows a history of tension, including Facebook's 2021 ban on Trump's account, which has since been reinstated. Elon Musk, another tech CEO, has also engaged with Trump, advocating for significant regulatory changes such as abolishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Zuckerberg's visit reflects a strategic alliance-building with the new administration amidst his company's regulatory challenges.
