Microsoft leaders meet with Trump, Musk at Mar-a-Lago
Microsoft’s top leaders met with President-elect Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance and Elon Musk at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday, a company spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Microsoft President Brad Smith chatted about cybersecurity and technology policy with Trump, Vance and Musk at the Palm Beach, Fla., resort, according to the spokesperson. The meeting was first reported by Semafor.
Their discussions also included the $80 million Microsoft plans to invest in artificial intelligence infrastructure around the world this year, a majority of which it intends to spend in the U.S.
Microsoft became one of the latest tech firms to donate $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, joining the likes of Amazon, Meta and Google.
Numerous tech leaders have similarly journeyed to Mar-a-Lago in the months since the election in an apparent push to improve relations with the incoming president, who has often had a tumultuous relationship with the industry.
Several tech executives, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, also plan to attend Trump’s inauguration Monday.
