Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was reportedly kicked out of an Oval Office meeting after entering unannounced during US President Donald Trump's discussion with senior military officials.
According to NBC News sources, military leaders were taken aback when Zuckerberg entered the Oval Office while they were discussing the Air Force's future fighter jet programme.
Worried that Zuckerberg didn’t have security clearance, officials asked the social media magnate to wait outside, two people familiar with the meeting said.
NBC sources indicated that meeting participants were disturbed by the apparent lack of Oval Office security protocols. One official described the situation as "bizarro world."
A senior White House representative contested these claims, stating they were 'mischaracterised'. They explained that Zuckerberg briefly greeted the President at his request before departing to await his scheduled meeting.
Zuckerberg's political stance has evolved, shifting from supporting immigration reform and liberal policies to aligning with Trump's MAGA movement during his re-election campaign.
The Meta chief attended Trump's recent inauguration, joining fellow tech billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
Recent reports suggest Zuckerberg's support for Trump extended to White House meetings, culminating in this Oval Office incident.
Trump reportedly describes the Oval Office as 'Grand Central Terminal' due to constant visitors, with officials worried about sensitive information exposure.
