Meta head honcho Mark Zuckerberg was reportedly asked to leave a meeting at the Oval Office after he 'walked in unexpectedly' while President Trump met with high-ranking military leaders.
Sources familiar with the recent meeting told NBC News that military leaders were shocked when Zuckerberg waltzed into the Oval Office during a discussion on the Air Force's next-generation fighter jet platform.
The exact date of the reported incident was not divulged. Officials were reportedly concerned about Zuckerberg's presence, citing that he didn't have the security clearance to be a part of the conversation.
He was then asked to leave the office and forced to wait outside. The Daily Mail reached out to Meta for comment on the claims.
Sources told the outlet that officials in the meeting were 'mystified and a bit unnerved' with the lack of privacy in the Oval Office. One official even referred to the meeting as 'bizarro world.'
A senior White House official pushed back on the claims, claiming they were 'mischaracterized' in the report. Zuckerberg 'popped in to say hello at the President’s request, and then left to wait for his meeting with POTUS to begin, which was scheduled to occur after the meeting with the pilots,' according to the official.
Zuckerberg has had a complicated history with politics, initially voicing pro-immigration policies and supporting liberal politicians before pivoting towards the MAGA agenda amid Trump's re-election campaign.
Zuckerberg attended Trump's inauguration earlier this year, cozying up to fellow billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
New reporting has revealed that Zuckerberg's allegiance to Trump has even extended to meetings at the White House, leading to this embarrassing ejection from the Oval.

SS hasn’t been cleaned out yet I see
I guess wind socks are complicated.
Sounds like absolutely nothing happened, but that there are still rats inside the White House. Susie runs a loose ship over there.
Might have been a little WH strategery to let Zuckerberg know he isn’t as important as he believes himself to be.
Sounds like we got a little mole trying to blow up a big nothing into something.
i dont think so
where was the gatekeeper?
Slow news day.
Sounds weird nobody just walks into the Oval .
Although sounds like something Zuckerberg would do.
“Tour”? As if he’d never been to the WH before?
Who let him in? My guess would be Susie W.
The doors on the Oval Office shut. I highly doubt he was just walking around and instead had a WH staff escort. We did 3 west wing tours in Trump’s first term and its a very intimate space. I asked our guide about Monica Lewinsky & he said the Clinton WW workers knew because of how small of a space it is. He said with Trump, you come over (from Eisenhower building), drop off whatever it is you had and got out. There was no hanging around, especially if the president was onsite.
What a silly exaggeration of a story.
Disband the Secret Service.
Replace it.
“ Might have been a little WH strategery to let Zuckerberg know he isn’t as important as he believes himself to be.”
More likely. Ok i take back slam on SS. Was prob first agency yo get toned up
On the way out “But, but wait. I need to take my packet of cocaine I left in the cubby. Lemme go back inside.”
She might need to check her lobbying instincts.
That's just crazy. NBC would never do anything like that!
“”””What a silly exaggeration of a story.”””
Sounds fake, Jim.
