In light of the reports about a secret dinner featuring Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, and Pres. Trump, I'd like to refer you back to April 2018, when Sen. Cantwell asked Zuck about Thiel and Palantir and he was like, "Palan-who? I barely know the Thiel!" https://t.co/P8LUH3laQy

It's unclear why Facebook and the White House didn't admit Zuckerberg, Trump and Peter Thiel had this dinner until we found out separately and asked Facebook.
— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) November 21, 2019
It's also unclear what the Facebook CEO, board member and president talked about.https://t.co/6j0i0NNd3o
It's perfectly clear why they didn't publicize this: Each of the three believes that being seen to associate the other two will harm their public image. The beautiful part is that all three are right. https://t.co/fc5UxzLmKN

SECRET DINNER with @realDonaldTrump - Peter Thiel & Mark Zuckerberg...
— Stephanie Ruhle (@SRuhle) November 21, 2019
WHY WOULD IT NEED TO BE SECRET? https://t.co/FdWLDyJKiX
I genuinely don't understand why @Facebook would issue such a smarmy response here. The "As is normal" phrasing does them no favors.
— Mat Honan (@mat) November 21, 2019
If it's so utterly normal and banal, why not announce it? Why is it going viral, if it is so normal? Made it worse.

Amid antitrust scrutiny, Facebook is going on a charm offensive with Republican lawmakers. And now, Mark Zuckerberg and one of Facebook's board members—a major Trump donor—had a secret dinner with Trump. This is corruption, plain and simple. https://t.co/KNUtZanylC

My guess is they feel like MZ shouldn’t be criticized for this "because Tim Cook,” etc. … but an easy way around that is to just disclose the meeting. https://t.co/fpLBStWnOs

Cook and Trump have at times had an adversarial relationship, but as time has gone on, they’ve leaned into the mutually beneficial parts of their dynamic instead:

Trump keeps saying Apple just opened a new plant in Texas.
— Vox (@voxdotcom) November 21, 2019
Except it didn’t. The plant has been making Apple computers since 2013. But Apple — and CEO Tim Cook — aren’t saying anything to correct the record. https://t.co/BZTSvSjhOg
