Meta adds UFC boss Dana White to board, as Mark Zuckerberg seeks to mend ties with Trump
Meta recently appointed three new directors to its board, including UFC head Dana White, signaling a strategic move to strengthen ties with the incoming Trump administration. This decision comes as Meta's founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been actively engaging with Trump, having donated one million dollars to his inauguration fund and dined with him at Mar-a-Lago last November.
This shift in Meta's leadership is part of a broader effort to mend relationships with Trump, who has been vocal in his criticism of the company, accusing it of bias against conservative views. The appointment of Republican Joel Kaplan to head public affairs underscores Meta's intention to align more closely with right-leaning political figures, especially after Trump's suspension from Facebook following the January 6 Capitol riots, which was lifted earlier this year.
