Adding to the day’s significance, DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) Leader, Elon Musk attended the meeting as self-described, “tech support” for the administration. Musk, who has positioned himself as a free speech advocate and a critic of government overreach, praised the assembled team as “the most talented group of people ever in U.S. history.”
Trump touted Apple’s latest announcement of a $500B investment in the US tech sector, which will create an estimated 20,000 jobs.
