Mark Zuckerberg caught ‘liking’ photo of Jeff Bezos’ partner Lauren Sanchez on Insta after ‘ogling’ her at inauguration
BILLIONAIRE Mark Zuckerberg has been caught out again after online sleuths discovered him liking a photo of Jeff Bezos’ wife on Instagram.
The Meta CEO was first accused of “ogling” Lauren Sanchez at Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday as people noticed him appearing to stare at her eye-popping outfit.
Zuck, 40, who has been married to Priscilla Chan since 2012, was stood next to a row of tech moguls during Trump’s swearing in in Washington.
He formed a billionaire’s row with Bezos, Google chief Sundar Pichai and the world’s richest man Elon Musk.
Hundreds of other A-list celebs and politicians were also in attendance but it was Sanchez’s plunging neckline that stole the show.
Most women followed the hundreds of years of tradition and wore business formal wear.
Sanchez – a news anchor and Bezos’ fiancee – decided to break away from the pack and donned a bright white suit with a visible bra embroidered with frills and lace.
The bold choice caused discussions around Sanchez’s outfit to go viral online.
But the chat was quickly overshadowed by a short clip from the day which appeared to show Zuckerberg looking across the Capitol Rotunda before glancing quickly down at Sanchez.
Zuckerberg, who is worth over $211billion, is yet to comment on the video.
He has however again landed himself in hot water in the eyes of some after he liked a sultry photo of Sanchez on Instagram.
Sanchez, 55, shared a snap of herself ahead of the Starlight ball in honor of Trump on Monday night.
She was sat down in a luxury hotel dressed up in a neutral, flowing Dolce & Gabbana gown.
As she stared off into the distance, the picture quickly wowed fans of the soon-to-be Mrs Bezos.
It gained over 12,000 likes within hours but eagle-eyed followers noticed one name which stood out among the rest.
Zuckerberg, who goes simply by “zuck” on Instagram – a platform he actively owns through Meta – was seen within the public likes.
His like is still on the post.
Several comments referenced the ongoing Zuckerberg theories under the post.
One noted: “Zuck liked the pic.”
Another simply joked: “Zuckerberg wishes.”
Sanchez has not liked his most recent post from the inauguration which features Chan.
The pair are believed to be friends through Bezos and both follow each other on Instagram.
Tech titans cozying up to Trump
Tech moguls have grown close to newly-elected President Trump after his historic win in the November elections.
Amazon, under Bezos, donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund and streamed the event on Prime.
Zuckerberg’s Meta also contributed $1 million to the fund.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently met the president over a three-hour dinner in the first meeting between the pair.
Perhaps the closest tech titan to Trump is Tesla, X and SpaceX chief Elon Musk.
Musk splashed a whopping $300million to support Trump’s winning election campaign and was even seen at several rallies and staying at the Mar-a-Lago home.
He was even accused of turning into a Trump cheerleader despite years earlier calling on him to ride off into the political sunset.
Trump repaid the support by appointing Musk as the leader of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency.
He has even said he’s open to the possibility of Musk purchasing TikTok after the app was momentarily banned in the US.
Trump signed an executive order delaying the federal ban for 75 days just hours into his second term and is now looking for a new owner for it.
Musk famously bought X, formerly Twitter, in 2022 for about $44 billion.
But Trump also said he’s open for Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle, to purchase TikTok.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk's complicated relationship
PRESIDENT Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's relationship started rocky, but the pair have since reconciled.
In 2022, Elon Musk and Donald Trump publicly feuded on X, then still known as Twitter.
Trump called Musk a liar and “bulls**t artist” during a rally in Alaska.
“Elon is not going to buy Twitter,” Trump said at the time.
“You know, he said the other day, ‘I’ve never voted for a Republican.’ I said, ‘I didn’t know that – you told me you voted for me. So he’s another bulls**t artist, but he’s not going to be buying it.”
In response to Trump’s critiques, the SpaceX founder clapped back.
“I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” Musk posted.
Musk also went on to buy X months later.
The X owner said he had previously voted mostly for Democrats since becoming a United States citizen in 2002.
Musk initially backed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to be the Republican Party’s presidential nominee.
“My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist,” Musk wrote on X in 2022.
“I had hoped that would [be] the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far.”
His shift in political parties might be attributed to his plummeting relationship with President Joe Biden who didn’t invite Musk to the 2021 White House electric vehicle summit.
Despite their past issues, Trump and Musk’s relationship took a turn in March after they met at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump was also previously against electric vehicles but has since changed his stance.
“I’m for electric cars,” he said at a rally earlier this month.
“I have to be, because Elon endorsed me very strongly. So I have no choice.”
Following the assassination attempt at Trump’s rally in July, Musk announced his support for the former president.
“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote on X after the shooting.
During a recent press conference, Trump spoke highly of Musk.
“I respect Elon a lot. He respects me,” he said.
“Elon, more than almost anybody I know, he loves this country. He loves the concept of this country, but like me, he says this country is in big trouble, it’s in tremendous danger.”
Musk has been pictured at events at Mar-a-Lago and the UFC, buddying up with Trump.
Trump selected Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency – a taskforce aimed at cutting bureaucracy.
