From the New York Post:

A Washington DC home would add to Zuckerberg’s already elaborate real estate portfolio, which includes multiple homes in California as well as a massive $270 million compound in Hawaii.

In December, Zuckerberg denied that he was building a so-called “Doomsday bunker” beneath his 1,400-acre home in Kauai, telling Bloomberg it was more “like a basement.”

The Facebook founder has heaped praise on Trump in recent months as part of a major reversal of their relationship.

The president had previously accused Meta of censorship and election interference and even one threatened to jail Zuckerberg for his role in alleged wrongdoing.

“I think he just wants America to win,” Zuckerberg said during a high-profile appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast earlier this month.

Per Fortune:

Since election night, Zuckerberg has pivoted to gear up for the Trump 2.0 administration. He announced Facebook and Instagram would, like Musk’s X, ditch fact-checking and rely on community notes; Meta elected Dana White, a longtime friend of Trump, to its board; Meta named Joel Kaplan, a prominent Republican, as its new chief global affairs officer; and Zuckerberg appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast and discussed a need for “masculine energy” in the corporate world.

But Zuckerberg isn’t the only one flocking to the capital. Wealthy Trump appointees, who need or want to be near Trump, have either purchased homes or are on the hunt, too.

Cantor Fitzgerald chief executive Howard Lutnick, whom Trump tapped to be commerce secretary, purchased a $25 million home, the Wall Street Journal reported. Hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, who was confirmed as Treasury secretary, is looking for a home, people familiar told the Journal. Plus, investor John Phelan, Trump’s choice for Navy secretary, is looking.

Axios recently reported that PayPal alum David Sacks—whom Trump chose to be AI and crypto czar, a position that did not exist before—purchased a $10 million home in D.C.
