According to Business Insider , the list of attendees includes Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, along with more than a dozen other executives from leading technology and AI companies.

More than 30 chairs were arranged around the table. One by one, the technology leaders spoke, most of them expressing support and praise for Mr. Trump's policies.

Mr. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, affirmed that the Trump administration's pursuit of a "pro-business, pro-innovation" policy will help the US maintain its world leadership position in the field of AI.

Mr. Altman is also working with the White House on the $500 billion Project Stargate, co-developed by SoftBank and Oracle. The U.S. Department of Defense recently awarded OpenAI a $200 million contract to develop AI tools for defense.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, who was once threatened with prosecution by Mr. Trump, now sat next to Mr. Trump at the party.

Meta and many other major tech companies are investing heavily in data infrastructure, seeing it as the foundation for the “next wave of innovation” in the US, he said.

Apple CEO Tim Cook also reaffirmed his commitment to invest $600 billion in domestic manufacturing, and thanked President Trump for "enabling Apple to expand advanced manufacturing right here in the US."

Previously, Mr. Cook also gave Mr. Trump a glass plaque placed on a gold base.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said AI could help cure incurable diseases like sickle cell disease and HIV, as well as aid education and agriculture . He called on the US to promote innovation in healthcare and thanked the president for his “great leadership.”

Google also took the opportunity to assert its role in education when CEO Sundar Pichai announced a $1 billion commitment for training and jobs in the US, of which $150 million was for AI-focused grants.

In addition to prominent names, the event also had the participation of Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft), Alexandr Wang (former CEO of Scale AI, currently serving as Director of AI at Meta), Lisa Su (CEO of AMD), Cameron Wilson (Chairman of Code.org), along with many investors such as Chamath Palihapitiya and David Sacks - currently Chairman of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, known as the "AI and Cryptocurrency Czar" at the White House.

Notably, billionaire Elon Musk - CEO of Tesla and former head of the Office of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the White House - did not attend the party, although the White House said his representative attended.

Since the beginning of this year, Mr. Musk and President Trump have been publicly at odds, but Mr. Trump has said he believes the billionaire will “return to the Republican Party.”
