<h2><strong>Mending a strained relationship</strong></h2>

<p>The 40-year-old Meta CEO, whose company owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, appears to be making efforts to repair his relationship with Trump. The two have shared a rocky history, particularly after Facebook banned Trump following the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Trump has previously accused Zuckerberg of conspiring against him during the 2020 election and even called for him to be jailed.</p>

<h2><strong>Was Elon Musk there?</strong></h2>

<p>It is unclear whether Elon Musk, a frequent visitor to Mar-a-Lago and a close ally of Trump, attended the dinner. Musk, who once challenged Zuckerberg to a cage fight, has been seen at the club multiple times since the election.</p>

<h2><strong>'Zuckerberg wants to support America under President Trump's leadership'</strong></h2>

<p>Stephen Miller, Trump’s incoming deputy chief of staff for policy, told Fox News on Wednesday that Zuckerberg has "been very clear about his desire to be a supporter of, and a participant in, this change that we're seeing all around America."</p>

<p>"He's made clear that he wants to support the national renewal of America under President Trump's leadership," Miller said during the interview.</p>
