The White House is denying an anonymous report that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg crashed a meeting in the Oval Office.
According to liberal NBC News, Zuckerberg waltzed into an Oval Office meeting unexpectedly.
The report claims that the Facebook founder was asked to leave after he walked in unannounced.
The report, citing two anonymous officials, said there were concerns Zuckerberg didn’t have a security clearance.
At this point, Americans are very familiar with Trump’s approach to governing.
While most find Trump’s loose, unfiltered style to be a refreshing change, especially after four years of the cloistered Biden presidency, some White House insiders reportedly complained to NBC about unexpected guests showing up.
One official described the winter meeting where Zuckerberg reportedly showed up as “bizarro world.”
“A young aide also came in during the meeting, showed the president something on her laptop computer, and left,” the report said.
“Trump’s cellphone rang a couple of times.
The White House denied NBC’s claim that Zuckerberg crashed the meeting, which was to discuss the next generation of fighter jets, the F-47.
While acknowledging that Zuckerberg made an appearance at the White House, an official said Trump had requested a separate meeting with the tech titan.
“He was not asked to leave,” the official said.
“He popped in to say hello at the president’s request, and then left to wait for his meeting with POTUS to begin, which was scheduled to occur after the meeting with the pilots.”
The relationship between Trump and Zuckerberg has become much friendlier compared to Trump’s first term.
During his last administration, Trump frequently blasted Facebook’s left-wing bias and censorship of conservatives.
Zuckerberg apologized last year for Facebook’s role in censoring information on behalf of the Biden administration.
The Meta founder also praised Trump’s courageous response to the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Zuckerberg was later front and center at the president’s historic second inauguration in January.
Another tech billionaire, Elon Musk, was a recurring presence in the Oval Office during the early months of Trump’s second term.
Musk’s casual office wear became a subject of criticism and parody for the Left.
Musk resigned his position as a “special government employee” in May.
When Musk’s alliance with Trump dramatically unraveled days later, the president confirmed that he asked the Tesla CEO to leave because he was “wearing thin.”
