Donald Trump Snubs Elon Musk Yet Again, Invites All of His Biggest Competitors to the White House
"As The Hill first reported, the upcoming event will see high-profile tech executives swing by for a visit, including Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google founder Sergey Brin and CEO Sundar Pichai, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman."
"The news comes a day after Trump called Musk a "good man" during a Scott Jennings Show interview, though hedging out that he has "some problems." "And when he works out the 20 percent [of problems], he'll be great, but he's got some difficulty," Trump said of Musk, arguing that he has "no choice" but to return to the Republican Party."
"While Musk won't be part of the proceedings, his longtime collaborator and private SpaceX astronaut Jared Isaacman will be on the guest list. Musk had recommended Isaacman for the role of NASA administrator, but the nomination was suddenly withdrawn earlier this summer following the escalation of a bitter feud between the SpaceX CEO and Trump."
The White House is hosting a Rose Garden event focused on artificial intelligence that will include many major tech leaders. Attendees will include Bill Gates, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, and Sam Altman. The event follows a meeting of a new Artificial Intelligence Education task force chaired by Melania Trump. Elon Musk was not invited, though his collaborator Jared Isaacman and Blue Origin CEO David Limp were. Musk recommended Isaacman for NASA administrator, but that nomination was withdrawn amid a feud between Musk and President Trump. Musk has also pursued legal action against Apple and OpenAI.
