  Reminder: There are no disbursement disclosure requirements for inaugural funds.  He can just pocket that money if he wants to.  Or pay himself a $1 million appearance fee.  To his own inauguration. www.wsj.com/tech/mark-zu...

  NEWS META has donated $1 million to the Trump Inaugural Fund.  While it's not unusual for big corporations to donate to inaugural funds, META did not donate to the first Trump Inaugural Fund in 2017 and did not donate to Biden's Inaugural Fund in 2021. via @yasharali

  @cb_doge That's it? $1 million is like 5 minutes of ad revenue on Facebook.. Cheap mfer.

  Wow. Meta donates $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Looks like Zuckerberg-Trump relations might be thawing after years of attacks from Trump against Meta. [image]

• @manjusrii Belinda Barnet on x

  This is quite a clever incentive in that it is *less expensive* for platforms if they do make deals with media outlets. In other words, it was basically written for Meta, who have walked away from the bargaining table https://www.news.com.au/... [image]
