President Donald Trump wined and dined a flock of Silicon Valley billionaires at the White House on Thursday, as the tech lords continue to attempt to stay on the president’s good side.
Former “First Buddy” Elon Musk was notably absent from the entitled gathering, with the Tesla CEO posting on X after a user wondered why Bill Gates was present at the event, but not him. “I was invited, but unfortunately could not attend,“ Musk said. ”A representative of mine will be there.”
Trump broke his silence on Musk this week, telling The Scott Jennings Show, “He’s got 80 percent super-genius, and then 20 percent he’s got some problems. When he works out the 20 percent, he’ll be great.”
