A high-profile dinner at the White House, hosted by former US President Donald Trump, drew a crowd of leading figures from the technology sector. The event, shifted from Trump’s Florida estate due to weather, brought together an array of influential CEOs and executives. The absence of Elon Musk, the head of X and SpaceX, created considerable discussion. While the dinner included notable attendees like Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Musk’s non-participation prompted inquiries regarding his relationship with Trump. The gathering provided a platform for discussions and potential collaborations among key players in the tech world.
Attendees included: Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Tim Cook (Apple), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Sergey Brin (Google), Greg Brockman (OpenAI), Safra Catz (Oracle), Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron), Vivek Ranadive (TIBCO Software), Shyam Sankar (Palantir), Alexandr Wang (Scale AI), David Limp (Blue Origin), and Jared Isaacman (Shift4 Payments).
