Meta, the parent company of Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, said Thursday it had donated $1 million to the inaugural fund of President-elect Donald Trump.
The donation is the latest swing in the up-and-down relationship between Trump and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s company.
The two men had dinner together last month at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
In 2021, Meta suspended Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, as did some other platforms like Twitter, after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Peter Thiel, another investor and a former Meta board member, is also a longtime Trump adviser.
