Mark Zuckerberg, the Meta chief executive who has tried to keep a distance from politics, is warming to President-elect Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n

Mr. Zuckerberg is among several Big Tech executives who are expected to be front and center at Mr. Trump\u2019s inauguration next week. He will be one of four hosts of a black-tie reception<\/a> on Jan. 20, joining the longtime Republican donors Miriam Adelson and Todd Ricketts in hosting a party \u201ccelebrating the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance,\u201d according to a copy of the invitation seen by The New York Times. The event was first reported by Puck.<\/p>\n

Corporate leaders often argue that supporting an inauguration is a patriotic act that does not amount to political support for the president. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Mr. Zuckerberg rarely attaches his name to political events. He did not play a similar role at President Biden\u2019s inauguration in 2020 or at Mr. Trump\u2019s first inauguration, in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But he has undergone something of a political reinvention<\/a> over the last year. He traveled to Mr. Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago resort last week. And has announced a series of changes at Meta since the election in November that have delighted advisers to Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n

Mr. Zuckerberg is one of several tech-company leaders positioning themselves for a Republican administration that will have considerable influence over their industry.<\/p>\n

Tim Cook, the chief executive of Apple, is expected to be seated on the dais at the inauguration alongside other major tech executives, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. NBC News reported on Tuesday that Amazon\u2019s founder, Jeff Bezos, would have a similarly high-profile perch. Bezos\u2019 representatives did not return requests for comment.<\/p>\n

And Elon Musk, Mr. Trump\u2019s top supporter in the tech industry, is expected to be all over Washington as he prepares to play a big role in the administration.<\/p>\n

Inauguration festivities have been such a hot ticket in corporate America that some companies and executives have donated to support Mr. Trump\u2019s inaugural committee even without a guarantee that they can get seats.<\/a><\/p>\n
