Mark Zuckerberg casually strolled into an Oval Office meeting about the Air Force’s new F-47 fighter jets, before being asked to leave by concerned White House staffers, according to NBC News. Two people familiar with the huddle in March said that officials, concerned that so-called ‘MAGA Mark’ didn’t have a security clearance, asked him to wait outside, according to NBC News. A senior White House official denied this, though, saying the social media magnate merely “popped in to say hello at the President’s request.” Zuckerberg then left to wait for a scheduled meeting with POTUS, the official added. NBC News also reported that a young aide also breezed into the room and showed something to Trump on her laptop before disappearing. The president’s phone buzzed with calls, too, the network’s sources said. It said some of the military leaders and officials were “mystified and a bit unnerved” by the apparent lack of privacy at the meeting, which one called “bizarro world.” One attendee was concerned about the potential for “spillage.” Meta has been contacted for comment. The White House didn’t deny the story, instead opting to celebrate “the greatest Cabinet in American history—a group of talented individuals who embody the diverse coalition that delivered his historic election victory.”
