Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly dined with President-elect Donald Trump at his home in Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller confirmed that the meeting took place during an appearance on The Ingraham Angle with Fox News.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday, just months after the tech entrepreneur publicly praised President-elect Trump following the July 13 assassination attempt.

“Mark 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, all around the world with this reform movement that Donald Trump is leading,” Miller said to guest host Brian Kilmeade.

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

Miller noted that Zuckerberg “has his own interests” while emphasizing that the co-founder of Facebook sees the second Trump term as a time for “national renewal.”

“Mark, obviously, he has his own interests, and he has his own company, and he has his own agenda,” Miller said. “But he’s made clear that he wants to support the national renewal of America under President Trump’s leadership.”

While Zuckerberg issued no endorsement during the 2024 presidential election, he spoke kindly of the president-elect following the July 13 assassination attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most bada- things I’ve ever seen in my life,” Zuckerberg told Bloomberg at the time.

“On some level as an American, it’s like hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that that’s why a lot of people like the guy,” he added.

Trump previously signaled that he and Mark Zuckerberg have been on friendlier terms since the assassination attempt.

“So, Mark Zuckerberg called me. First of all, he called me two times. He called me after the event and he said that was really amazing,” told Maria Bartiromo of Fox Business back in August. “And he actually announced that he’s not going to support a Democrat because he can’t because he respected me for what I did that day. I think what I did … to me, was a normal response.”

Trump even said that Zuckerberg apologized to him without specifying, most likely referring to Facebook banning his account following the January 6 Capitol Hill riot.

“He actually apologized. He said they made a mistake … and they’re correcting the mistake,” Trump said.
