Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, attempted to negotiate a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding an antitrust case. The FTC demanded $30 billion to drop its case, while Zuckerberg initially offered $450 million in March 2025. As the trial approached, Meta raised its offer to approximately $1 billion. However, FTC Chair Lina Khan deemed the initial offer 'not credible,' and former Chair Rohit Chopra described it as 'delusional.' Zuckerberg reportedly sought support from President Trump during the negotiations.
