Zuckerberg Apologizes for Not Knowing Exact AI Investment Promise to Trump

Mark Zuckerberg and President Donald Trump have significantly improved their relationship in recent months, which was evident during a White House dinner with several tech CEOs. The conversation between the two caught on a hot mic revealed an interesting moment when Trump asked Zuckerberg how much money Meta was planning to invest in AI in the U.S. Zuckerberg initially provided a rough estimate of at least $600 billion by 2028. Trump seemed satisfied, but later Zuckerberg apologized for not knowing the exact figure. The Meta CEO later clarified the situation, explaining that he had shared the lower figure and had intended to discuss larger potential investments. This event highlights Zuckerberg’s efforts to mend his ties with Trump, including actions like donating $1 million to his inauguration and changing Meta’s policies. These actions seem to have paid off, as Zuckerberg and Trump now share a more positive and cooperative relationship. Furthermore, Zuckerberg’s comments suggest that Meta is planning major investments in AI infrastructure in the U.S. over the next few years, possibly even exceeding the $600 billion mark. This shift is indicative of how much the dynamic between the two has evolved since their previous clashes.
