Mark Zuckerberg Reportedly Eyes Washington D.C. Home to Strengthen Ties with Trump Administration

The Meta CEO is said to be seeking closer collaboration with the Trump administration on tech policy, including artificial intelligence regulation.

Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly exploring the purchase of a home in Washington D.C., according to sources cited by the Financial Times.
The move is seen as part of an effort to build closer ties with the Trump administration, particularly on issues like artificial intelligence regulation and tech policy.
Zuckerberg has taken steps to align Meta with Republican priorities, including appointing Trump ally Dana White to the board and naming Republican Joel Kaplan as the company’s chief global affairs officer.
Meta has committed up to $65 billion in AI investments, even as Trump’s administration focuses on a $500 billion AI initiative involving competitors like OpenAI and SoftBank.
The potential home purchase follows Zuckerberg’s recent appearances at Trump’s inauguration and Mar-a-Lago, signaling a shift in his relationship with the administration.
