Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg is pulling off a lobbying-public relations combo move by gifting President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund $1 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. The money came from Meta, to be clear, but Zuckerberg sweetened the gift further — while doing great marketing — by sending Trump a pair of Meta’s smart glasses, too.

They know he's part of the family, the scammy billionaire class. This is openly mafia shit, where as previously it was behind closed doors.

Definitely no mind control tech in there, no sir!

The only mind control you need with Trump is to dangle some money I'm front of him. He's like a dog with a bone.

The mind trick only works on the weak of mind.

What the fuck is an inaugural fund

In general I guess to pay for all the decor and festivities. In Trump's case, it could be to hire people to show up.

Mind boggling.

All those billionaires in office and still needing other billionaires to pay for shit.

Doesn’t look corrupt at all

I'm sure those are going to be locked deep underground with all the other things random people give the president. I hope Zuckerberg enjoys his surveillance footage of dust gathering, surrounded by historic chess sets
