Zuckerberg, who had a notably rocky relationship with Trump during the president's first term, has been publicly currying favor this go-round. He's taken measures like ending Meta's diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, programs, getting rid of third-party fact-checkers in favor of a "Community Notes" model used by Musk's X platform, and adding Dana White, CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and a longtime friend of Trump, to his company's board weeks before the new administration began.
Meta also agreed in January to pay $25 million to settle a 4-year-old lawsuit over the company's decision to suspend Trump's accounts after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
