Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg has spent months wooing the new Trump administration.
The actor – who portrayed Zuckerberg on the big screen 15 years ago – is sharing some candid thoughts on the Meta CEO’s latest actions.
"Social media has given up on fact-checking,” the president said at his farewell address. “The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit."
The tech billionaire said “community notes,” as used on Elon Musk's X, will be implemented on Facebook and Instagram instead.
Meta announced a similar donation earlier in the week as tech leaders hope to reverse antagonistic relationships with the president-elect.
Meta did not donate to Trump’s first inaugural fund in 2017, or to President Joe Biden’s in 2021.
“Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner," a Meta spokesperson said.
The Meta CEO hasn't endorsed either Trump or President Joe Biden's bids for a second term.
Meta boss and other tech CEOs testified in front of a Senate committee on Wednesday.
Elon Musk retorted by calling the Meta founder "a chicken."
