White is a close ally of Trump, who has criticised Meta and Zuckerberg for allegedly supporting liberal policies and showing bias against conservatives.

Meta has appointed three new members to its board of directors. The new members include Dana White, the president and CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship and a key figure in the orbit of incoming President Donald Trump.

White has grown closer with Zuckerberg in recent years as the tech billionaire has attended several UFC fights and provided advice on the use of artificial intelligence on UFC fighter rankings.
