Some of Silicon Valley tech giants have been invited for a summit on Wednesday held by US-President-elect Donald Trump, as reported by Recode. Top executives — Larry Page (Alphabet CEO), Tim Cook (Apple CEO), Sheryl San (Facebook COO) are some of the names that are present in the list. The gathering will be held at Trump Tower, New York. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Cisco CEO Chuck Robins and Orcale CEO Safra Catz are also expected to attend the meeting.
Billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk will also be attending it, reports the Wall Street Journal.
“I plan to tell the president-elect that we are with him and are here to help in any way we can,” Oracle Chief Executive Officer Safra Catz told Reuters.
“If he can reform the tax code, reduce regulation, and negotiate better trade deals, the US technology community will be stronger and more competitive than ever,” he added.
The invites were reportedly extended by incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, one of Mr. Trump’s few vocal supporters from the tech industry.
Jeff Bezos was also invited to the summit, and is likely to attend.
Elon Musk might skip the summit due to some “critical work obligations” as reported by Recode.
As mentioned on the website, “he was glad to receive the invitation, critical work obligations might prevent him from attending. Sources left the door open that Musk would change his plans in the next few days, but that he was less likely to attend at this point.”
