Dana White said Mark Zuckerberg showed a huge American flag on his property.
In January, the UFC president announced that he was on the Meta board, a company that runs Facebook and Instagram under Zuckerberg.
The move came as a shock in view of Meta and Zuckerberg's history of censorship and linkage with Democratic-led policies.
In a recent episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show,” White explained Tucker Carlson to the host, where he first contacted Zuckerberg and visited him for discussion.
Carlson joked that Zuckerberg was an alien and brought up the subject.
“At the next meta conference, you lock your eyes with Mark Zuckerberg and are worried that he will steal your soul?” Carlson laughed. “You don't get that alien vibe at all?”
White refused, “If I had felt that way about Zuckerberg, I wouldn't be on the board.”
The UFC boss then described his original contact with Zuckerberg, who passed through White's public relations officer, leading to a long-term relationship. Communications employees told White that Zuckerberg was looking for his number and asked if he could provide it to the social media mogul.
Zuckerberg then called White and invited him to his house on Lake Tahoe for dinner. There, White was impressed by the overall vibe of Zuckerberg's decorations and setting.
“[I] Step into his living room at his house and they put me in the living room and wait.
White also said he was impressed by “the biggest American flag you've ever seen” in Zuckerberg's backyard above the lake.
He then I told Carlson“We sat down and had dinner, maybe four hours of talk, and I liked Mark from that first meeting and started to form a relationship. We spoke…and me. We became friends.”
“You seem to be on the right side of everything at all.”
White said the friendship grew through the proposed battle between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk – which may have happened at the Colosseum in Rome, but after the Republican National Convention, White was in his board meeting It reached its peak with Zuckerberg, who demanded to join.
“I flew from Italy to the RNC. I spoke at RNC. I flew back to Italy. [to] I got a text from my family on vacation and from Mark who said, “Can you have a quick talk?” [I] I called him back, and this is what he said to me: “I think you're a great businessman, you always seem to be on the right side of everything, my company needs a backbone. I'll sit on the board for meta.”
I wasn't sure, Carlson is back.”[Zuckerberg] It gave Joe Biden's 2020 campaign $350 million. It's like he's looking at you in the RNC, “I like what you have to say, I want you on the metaboard.” What do you do with that? ”
White simply replied, “I don't know.”
The two kept it, and White revealed that his own sister was not a fan of Meta's board. Carlson admitted to swimming with White's sister.
White said the next two days of board meetings in Meta (who will be attending first) will provide his expertise and add thoughts when he feels necessary.
