Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is vying to be a part of the conversation when it comes to how the Trump administration creates and implements policy around Big Tech, according to Meta’s president of global affairs Nick Clegg.
Clegg shared with reporters that Zuckerberg wants to play “an active role in the debates that any administration needs to have about maintaining America’s leadership in the technological sphere,” the Financial Times reported.
Clegg’s comments come after Zuckerberg’s visit to Mar-a-Lago with President-elect Donald Trump on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Zuckerberg and Trump have repeatedly clashed in the past over the Facebook founder’s funding influence on election centers during the 2020 election and the social media company’s censorship of conservative speech. However, now that Zuckerberg’s top competitor, X CEO Elon Musk, is partnering with Trump, Zuckerberg has changed his tune and appears to be making inroads himself.
