Hand-picked News

Tonight’s Rose Garden gathering isn’t just a photo op—it’s a power play over the future of AI, and one major name didn’t make the cut.

  • Gates, Cook, Zuck, Altman, and Pichai are all invited to dine with Trump at the newly renovated Rose Garden

  • Elon Musk was left off the guest list after past clashes with Trump’s administration

  • Melania Trump hosted a separate AI education event earlier today, signaling a push toward tech in schools

The dinner follows a wave of aesthetic upgrades to the White House, including a Mar-a-Lago-style patio and plans for a $200M ballroom. But behind the glitz is a clear strategy: Trump wants to fast-track AI deregulation and deepen ties with Big Tech.

āš ļø With OpenAI, Google, and Meta all at the table, this could shape how AI is governed and who gets to lead the charge.
