Dana White, the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), is joining Meta’s board of directors, he announced in an X post Monday.
“I love social media. And I’m excited to be a small part of the future of AI and emerging technologies,” White tweeted Monday.
White’s addition adds a longtime ally of President-elect Donald Trump to the board of a company that once censored him.
Meta banned Trump from their platforms Facebook and Instagram in 2021, citing “his praise for people engaged in violence at the Capitol” on Jan. 6.
