Trump's power dinner at the White House, world's tech giants will gather but Musk will be absent
US President Donald Trump is going to have dinner with big tech CEOs at the White House on Thursday night. Big tech giants like Microsoft, Apple and Google will be in attendance, but Elon Musk will be missing from the gathering.
Tech News: The Rose Garden of the White House in Washington will present a club-like scene on Thursday night. President Donald Trump will sit and have dinner with the world's big tech CEOs. This will not just be a meal but a platform for discussions on power and policy. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg and Google founder Sergey Brin and CEO Sundar Pichai will attend this dinner. Apart from these, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Satya Nadella and many big giants will also be present.
Musk's absence is in discussion
The biggest omission from this entire guest list is Elon Musk. Musk, who was once close to Trump, is not invited this time. Trump and Musk had differences earlier this year and since then their relationship is said to be sour.
Rose garden new look
The White House's Rose Garden has been decorated in a new style for this dinner. Trump removed the grass and installed chairs and tables, which made this place look like his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida. There is a lot of talk about this too.
AI Task Force Meeting
Before this dinner, there will be a meeting of the Artificial Intelligence Education Task Force chaired by First Lady Melania Trump. In this, there will be a discussion on connecting the youth with AI education. Many CEOs are also going to participate in this meeting.
Trump's political strategy
It is believed that this dinner is not just a formal meeting but is a part of Trump's strategy before the 2024 elections. By bringing the tech giants closer to him, Trump wants to send the message that America's technology and politics will move forward together. Through this dinner, Trump wants to assure the business world that his administration will be technology friendly.
Also, he wants to create an image that he has a strong hold on Washington politics. Analysts believe that this dinner is a big message of the election campaign.
Impact on Musk-Trump relations
Trump had once given Musk the responsibility of running the government efficiency department. But later there was a rift and Musk became angry. Trump says that Musk has become a "complete Democrat". This dinner is now showing a deeper rift in the Musk-Trump relationship.
Experts say that Trump keeping Musk out could also be a well-planned move. With this, Trump has given a direct message to his opponents. At the same time, Musk's supporters are considering this as an insult to him.
