A timeline of Mark Zuckerberg's history with Trump
- Donald Trump and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg might be cooling their long-simmering feud. Zuckerberg and Trump shared a Thanksgiving eve meal at Mar-a-Lago. Trump previously threatened to jail the Meta CEO if he won the 2024 election, illustrating just how important their tête-à-tête might be.
- Trump and his conservative allies have long criticized Zuckerberg, putting the head of one of the nation's largest companies under a microscope at a critical time.
- Meta is facing an antitrust trial next year. There's bipartisan support for a major rewrite of Section 230, a law that shields Big Tech companies from liability. Zuckerberg has previously supported changing Section 230, but his company could be dramatically affected by how the law is changed.
- Trump congratulated Nigeria for its ban on Twitter, which the country has since lifted.
- In 2021, Meta "indefinitely" suspended Trump's accounts following the January 6 Capitol riots, citing "use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government."
- Eventually, Meta decided to reinstate Trump's account. It did so while putting "new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses," including bigger penalties for any violations of Meta's rules.
- Trump filed suit against Facebook, Google, Twitter, and the companies' respective CEOs in July 2021, alleging they unlawfully censor him and other conservatives.
- Trump has expressed interest in suing Facebook.
- Trump would later sue Facebook, Google, and Twitter.
- Trump and Zuckerberg share a pre-holiday meal. Trump's exclusive Mar-a-Lago club was the site of their meal. Zuckerberg, a Meta spokesperson said, was invited to dine with Trump on Thanksgiving eve.
