President Donald Trump will host a dinner with some of the world’s most influential tech executives at the White House on Thursday evening, though Elon Musk will not be among them.
According to the White House, attendees include Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Google founder Sergey Brin, CEO Sundar Pichai, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, Oracle’s Safra Catz, and several others from the AI and tech sectors.
Musk, once close to Trump and tapped to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, split with the president earlier this year. The break reportedly stemmed from Trump’s revocation of Musk associate Jared Isaacman’s NASA nomination.

The dinner will be held on Trump’s newly remodeled Rose Garden patio, which now resembles the outdoor setup at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle described it as “the hottest place to be in Washington, or perhaps the world.”
