An exclusive White House gathering is scheduled for today in the renovated Rose Garden, following an event on artificial intelligence hosted by First Lady Melania Trump. Prominent tech leaders invited include Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg. White House spokesperson Davis Ingle highlighted the significance of the event and future dinners in the new Rose Garden patio. President Trump is hosting this dinner for top business and tech leaders. Notably absent from the invitation list is Elon Musk, likely due to his strained relationship with President Trump. This situation is compared to the Biden-Harris administration's exclusion of Musk from a 2021 EV summit. Other attendees include Google founder Sergey Brin and CEO Sundar Pichai, Oracle CEO Safra Catz, Blue Origin CEO David Limp, Micron Technology CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, and OpenAI President Greg Brockman. White House AI czar David Sacks and Shift4 CEO Jared Isaacman will also be present. President Trump recently commented on Musk, describing him as a super genius with some problems. The invitation list signifies the importance of the tech industry to the current administration.
