An unusual guest joined President Trump at dinner on Wednesday…

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook, the infamous social media platform that censored Trump supporters, like our website…), visited Mar-a-Lago to dine and have a conversation with President Trump about “the incoming administration.”

Reportedly, Mark Zuckerberg initiated the visit himself and was very grateful for the invitation.

Here’s what we know:

The New York Post reported:

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago — after reportedly requesting the meeting with the president-elect to discuss “the incoming administration” Wednesday.

“It’s an important time for the future of American Innovation. Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming Administration,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Post.

The Trump-Vance transition team did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Stephen Miller, the incoming White House deputy chief of staff for policy, confirmed that Zuckerberg met with the president-elect during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

“Mark Zuckerberg has been very clear about his desire to be a supporter of and a partnership in this change that we’re seeing all around America, all around the world, with this reform movement that Donald Trump is leading,” Miller said.

“Mark Zuckerberg, like so many business leaders, understands that President Trump is an agent of change, an agent of prosperity,” he added.

“And so business leaders, CEOs everywhere, they want to be an element, a supporter, a booster of making our economy prosperous, delivering for American workers and making sure that America is the most powerful, wealthiest, freest nation on the face of the Earth.”

Miller noted that Zuckerberg, 40, “has his own interests and he has his own company and he has his own agenda” — but has “made clear that he wants to support the national renewal of America under President Trump’s leadership.”

The Mar-a-Lago meeting was reportedly initiated by Zuckerberg, according to the New York Times.

The president-elect and Facebook creator “largely exchanged pleasantries” during their meeting and Zuckerberg congratulated Trump on his Election Day victory, the outlet reported.

The Hill added:

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with President-elect Trump on Wednesday at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, where he’s been hosting political meetings, according to Stephen Miller, the incoming deputy chief of policy.

“Mark Zuckerberg, like so many business leaders, understand that President Trump is an agent of change, an agent of prosperity, and so business leaders, CEOs everywhere, they want to be an element, a supporter, a booster of making our economy prosperous, delivering for American workers and making sure that America is the most powerful, wealthiest, freest nation on the face of the earth,” Miller said during a Fox News appearance.

Zuckerberg is the latest tech CEO to try to mend his relationship with the former president after past tensions. In 2021, Facebook, a subset of the Meta social platforms, banned the former president for two years, labeling him a “risk to public safety” after his posts questioned the 2020 election results, ultimately influencing the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrectionists.

So, what do you think: is the Zucc MAGA now? Or is he just grifting, trying to avoid repercussions?
