The information was announced by Meta spokesman Andy Stone on the social network X. In recent weeks, the Facebook founder expressed optimism that President Donald Trump would help ensure the dominance of American technology companies, helping them defeat foreign competitors and protect them from legal challenges.

During a January earnings call, Zuckerberg told investors that 2025 was “a critical year to redefine our relationship with governments.” “We have an administration that is proud to be led by business, prioritizes the success of American technology, and will protect our values ​​and interests abroad.”

Last month, Zuckerberg made a series of changes to align Meta with the Trump administration, including promoting Joel Kaplan, a longtime Republican strategist, to president of global foreign affairs and bringing Dana White, a Trump ally, onto Meta’s board of directors.

He also ended third-party fact-checking services on US platforms, adjusted moderation policies to allow some language targeting immigrants and transgender people to appear, and visited the president's private residence at Mar-a-Lago.

In a podcast with Joe Rogan on January 10, Zuckerberg called on the US government to help win today's "extremely competitive" AI race.
