"Organizers of the World Economic Forum confirmed that Elon Musk was added shortly before the event to a Thursday afternoon session, where he was scheduled to speak with Fink, as noted in a Bloomberg News report. Musk's upcoming appearance marks Musk's first participation in the forum, which annually draws political leaders, business executives, and global media to Davos, Switzerland. Musk's attendance represents a departure from his past stance toward the event. He had been invited in prior years but declined to attend, including in 2024."
"Musk had frequently criticized the World Economic Forum in the past, describing it as elitist and questioning its influence. In earlier posts, he characterized the gathering as "boring" and accused it of functioning like an unelected global authority. Those remarks contributed to a long-running distance between Musk and WEF organizers. The forum previously said Musk had not been invited since 2015, though that position has since shifted."
Elon Musk will attend the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos and was added shortly before a Thursday afternoon session to appear with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. The appearance marks Musk's first participation in the forum, which annually draws political leaders, business executives, and global media to Davos, Switzerland. Musk had declined prior invitations, including in 2024, and had publicly criticized the forum as elitist and "boring," accusing it of functioning like an unelected global authority. Organizers said Musk had not been invited since 2015 but later welcomed him amid interest in his political and business activities, including his brief DOGE role.
