Mark Zuckerberg, the Meta founder, is reportedly exploring the luxury real estate market in Washington, D.C. with intentions to influence legislation on artificial intelligence. His interest comes as other billionaires, such as David Sacks, are making significant property purchases post-Trump's election, leading to a notable uptick in luxury real estate activity, termed a 'Trump surge.' As Meta shifts its strategy under the new administration, Zuckerberg’s move indicates a desire for closer ties with political power while also navigating the competitive AI landscape.
To the billionaires descending on the District in the wake of Trump's election, we can add another presumptive name to the list: Zuck. As in, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta.
Having a DC pad—he already owns a compound in Hawaii and multiple properties in California—would give Zuckerberg closer access to the administration as he attempts to influence potential legislation on artificial intelligence, for example.
Zuck isn't the only potential buyer helping to fuel a Trump bump in the local luxury real estate market.
He called the surge of activity less of a Trump bump than a 'Trump surge.'
