The Hill shared additional details from the meeting:

Trump asked Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, about the win he had when a federal judge ruled Google could hold onto its Chrome browser on Tuesday. Instead of discussing the court decision, Pichai turned to discuss AI, saying that the Trump administration’s AI action plan is “a great start.” Pichai, when asked, said Google is investing $250 billion.

Apple CEO Tim Cook thanked Trump for including him in the event and when Trump asked how much his company will be investing in the U.S., he said $600 billion. Cook joined Trump in the Oval Office last month to announce the latest investment to bring the total to $600 billion.

Notably absent was Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder, who served as a special government employee and top Trump adviser for the first few months of the year before feuding with Trump. A representative for Musk’s companies also did not attend.

“I know all of them indirectly, and I know some of them very well, but I know everybody at the table indirectly through reading about you and studying, knowing a lot about your business,” Trump said at the beginning of the event. He added that he is “making it very easy” for businesses “in terms of electric capacity and getting it for you, getting your permits.”

Trump and Zuckerberg were asked about freedom of speech online in the United Kingdom.

“There seems to be a crackdown. The British government seems to be cracking down on social media posts, people being arrested for tweets,” a reporter said.

“Just wondering how concerning that is to you Mr. President and Mr. Zuckerberg,” he added.

“It’s not a good thing,” Trump said.

President Trump: “This is the beginning of your political career.”

Mark Zuckerberg: “No it’s not.”

The Associated Press provided further info:

At the table instead was one of Musk’s rivals in artificial intelligence, Sam Altman of OpenAI.

In another reflection of shifting loyalties in Trump’s world, the dinner included Jared Isaacman, who founded the payment processing company Shift4.

Isaacman was a Musk ally chosen by Trump to lead NASA, only to have his nomination withdrawn because he was, in Trump’s words, “totally a Democrat.”

The dinner was expected to be held in the Rose Garden, where Trump recently paved over the grassy lawn and set up tables, chairs and umbrellas that look strikingly similar to the outdoor setup at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

But because of inclement weather, officials decided to move the event to the White House State Dining Room.

The event followed an afternoon meeting of the White House’s new Artificial Intelligence Education task force, which first lady Melania Trump chaired and some tech leaders participated in.

“The robots are here. Our future is no longer science fiction,” she said,

Pichai, IBM chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna and Code.org President Cameron Wilson were among those participating in the task force.

The White House confirmed that the guest list for the dinner also included: Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates; Google founder Sergey Brin; OpenAI founder Greg Brockman; Oracle CEO Safra Catz; Blue Origin CEO David Limp; Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra; TIBCO Software chairman Vivek Ranadive; Palantir executive Shyam Sankar; Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang; and Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman.
