Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed plans to invest at least $600 billion in the United States over the next several years during a White House event featuring top tech executives. The announcement coincided with discussions on infrastructure, innovation, and artificial intelligence.
Zuckerberg’s remarks were part of a broader conversation about corporate commitments to American growth. Google CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed an additional $250 billion investment in the U.S., while Apple CEO Tim Cook reiterated his company’s pledge of $600 billion. The event highlighted shifting alliances and priorities among tech leaders under the Trump administration.
Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, did not attend the gathering, a departure from previous roles as a top Trump adviser. Meanwhile, Sam Altman of OpenAI and other industry figures were present. President Donald Trump emphasized efforts to streamline business operations, including “electric capacity” and permit processes, during the meeting.
The dinner, originally scheduled for the White House Rose Garden, was moved indoors due to weather. It followed a separate session led by First Lady Melania Trump on artificial intelligence education, featuring executives from tech firms like IBM and Microsoft. Attendees included Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, and other prominent business leaders.
