Meta names Trump supporter Dana White to board in latest revamp by Mark Zuckerberg

Elkann is also the executive chairman of Stellantis NV and Ferrari, and chair of the nonprofit Agnelli Foundation, which focuses on education.

In one of their early public exchanges, Zuckerberg thanked White in an Instagram post in 2022 for inviting him to attend a UFC fight, while the UFC posted a photo online of the two embracing in front of the “Octagon” cage where fights take place.

The Facebook-parent also elected Charlie Songhurst, an investor and former Microsoft executive, as well as John Elkann, CEO of Exor, a holding company controlled by Italy’s Agnelli family with interests in European businesses such as Ferrari and Christian Louboutin.

Meta also donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund, in a departure from its past practice.

Last week, the company elevated prominent Republican policy executive Joel Kaplan to the position of global affairs head.
