Former President Donald Trump hinted that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg could enter American politics during a dinner with tech leaders at the White House. Trump’s remarks came after a journalist asked Zuckerberg about freedom of expression in the UK, which appeared to make the Meta CEO uncomfortable. Trump stated that it was the beginning of Zuckerberg’s political career and that he would improve his public speaking skills. This follows the precedent set by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, who has worked with Trump in the past. Zuckerberg, born in New York, is 41 years old. At the dinner, Zuckerberg thanked Trump and announced Meta’s plans to invest $600 billion by 2028. Numerous tech figures have already made moves into the political sphere, including Vivek Ramaswamy. The dinner, which Trump considered a success, was designed to address how tech companies are operating in the age of AI. Elon Musk was invited but sent a representative to attend the event.
