Mark Zuckerberg Shifts Toward Trump as $1.35 Trillion in Tech Wealth Backs MAGA

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has moved closer to Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, joining other billionaires at Trump’s inauguration in a show of growing tech-world alignment.
Jonathan Weber said Trump has turned once-fringe right-wing tech figures into power brokers, making their ideas and ambitions more mainstream inside Washington.
David Sacks, 54, served as Trump’s AI and crypto adviser and now co-chairs the President’s science and technology council, while Peter Thiel donated $1.25 million to Trump’s first campaign.
Zuckerberg’s shift stands out because, unlike Thiel and Sacks, Weber portrayed him as politically flexible and driven mainly by business interests, with Meta staff reportedly dubbing him “MAGA Mark.”
