Zuckerberg promised Trump crony Stephen Miller he would not ‘obstruct’ president-elect’s agenda

President-elect has criticized diversity policies within corporate America and promised to end them. The meeting between Zuckerberg, the billionaire co-founder of Facebook and CEO of Meta, and Miller, a powerful figure within Donald Trump’s inner circle and the architect of his hard-line immigration policies, happened shortly after the president-elect won the election.

Those terms include ditching DEI policies that corporate America, such as Meta, had openly embraced roughly four years ago during the Black Lives Matter movement. Zuckerberg reportedly agreed and signaled that changes were coming to the company to oversees Facebook and Instagram. Sources familiar with the conversation said Zuckeblamed Meta’s former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for pushing inclusivity policies at the company.
Fact-checkers, who pushed back on Trump’s false claims of mass election fraud after the 2020 election, were another ire of the president-elect. The Trump-inspired changes to the tech giant’s extraordinarily influential platform are happening as the United States prepares for a second, but far more calculated, Trump presidency.
Zuckerberg and other tech giants such as Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and TikTok CEO Shou Chew have immediately flocked to the president ahead of inauguration, hoping to make nice with him before he implements sweeping changes across the country.
With four years of presidential experience, and another four years of building grudges, Trump is coming into the White House fully prepared to upend the policies he dislikes. He’s relying on influential people such as Miller to help him deliver on those.
