Pod Save America host Jon Favreau ripped into Meta CEO Mark Zuckeberg for donating $1 million to President-elect Trump’s inauguration ceremony on Friday.
“There are few humans more full of s— than Mark Zuckerberg for like all of the values he professed that Facebook had and that his company has and all this bullshit,” Favreau said in the clip posted to X.
“Donald Trump attempted a coup. He incited a violent insurrection.”
The podcaster said he was fine with Zuckerberg holding a dinner meeting with the incoming president but thought a large donation was preposterous.
“I would not have even been this annoyed over the fact that Zuckerberg sat down with Trump and had dinner. It’s like, okay, you want to have dinner? He’s the president of the United States. You run one of the biggest companies in the world,” Favreau reasoned.
“Like, fine, make peace, whatever. Donate a million dollars to inauguration when Meta has not donated money to any other inauguration? Now you’re like in the Trump business. Now you’re just giving him money.”
He called the gesture “disgusting.”
“You’re not just like not saying mean things about him or even saying nice things,” Favreau added.
“You’re giving him money? A million dollars. It’s disgusting.”
However, Zuckerberg isn’t the only business owner cozying up with Trump. Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon, contributed the same amount to Trump’s inauguration under the company name while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is planning to make a personal donation.
Trump’s inauguration will take place on Jan. 20, 2025.
