Here’s what CNN reported:

In a message that appeared to be intended as a private communication to Elon Musk, President-elect Donald Trump said in a social media post Friday that Microsoft founder Bill Gates had asked to meet with him.

“Where are you? When are you coming to the ‘Center of the Universe,’ Mar-a-Lago. Bill Gates asked to come, tonight. We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!! DJT,” Trump wrote in the Truth Social post.

Gates has reached out to the Trump transition about a possible meeting with Trump, a person familiar with the talks told CNN, but as of now it’s unclear whether the two will meet. Trump has met with several tech CEOs and business leaders at his home since winning November’s election. CNN has reached out to Gates for comment.

The message appears to include a reference to Musk’s son, X Æ A-Xii, whom Musk colloquially refers to as X. The post comes as Musk, whom Trump named as co-leader of his government efficiency initiative, has drawn fresh criticism from loyal Trump supporters over his support of the visa program that allows highly skilled foreign workers to immigrate to the US.

Trump and Gates first met in December 2016 as Trump was preparing to take office for the first time.

"Where are you? We miss you and x!"

Is Trump sending out a Bat signal to get Elon back to Mar-a-Lago so he's not stuck alone with Bill Gates tonight?

Per The Hill:

President-elect Trump said Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates asked to visit his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago on Friday night.
“Where are you? When are you coming to the ‘Center of the Universe,’ Mar-a-Lago. Bill Gates asked to come, tonight,” Trump wrote in a Friday morning Truth Social post. “We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!!”

Trump’s post on the platform comes as some major automotive and tech companies have pledged or have already dished out contributions to the president-elect’s inaugural fund: Toyota, Ford, Amazon, Meta, OpenAI and others.

Various tech executives have also already met with Trump in Florida, hoping, in part, to forge a better relationship with the Republican as his administration is set to kick off in late January.

Gates has been critical of Trump in the past, specifically about his foreign policy rhetoric as well as his administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the Microsoft co-founder congratulated Trump on his November victory over Vice President Harris, despite endorsing the Democratic nominee and reportedly boosting a Harris-aligned PAC with a $50 million donation. His ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, also endorsed Harris in the 2024 White House contest.
