Mark Zuckerberg hosting reception for Trump
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is co-hosting a black tie reception Jan. 20 after President-elect Trump’s inauguration to celebrate the Republican’s win.
The tech giant teamed up with Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertita, who is set to become the new U.S. ambassador to Italy, former Republican National Committee finance chair Todd Ricketts and his wife Sylvie Légère, and Republican mega-donor Miriam Adelson to host the event, according to the invitation obtained by NewsNation.
The soiree is set to last for three-and-a-half hours, from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., prior to the evening inaugural balls in Washington, D.C.
Zuckerberg has recently attended a series of meetings with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort, made a $1 million donation to the inaugural fund and brought a swift end to Meta’s fact-checking program.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is also planning to attend the 60th inauguration following his $1 million contribution to the ceremony.
NewsNation is owned by Nexstar Media Group, which also owns The Hill.
