Zuckerberg hand-guided the writing of that agreement, Semafor<\/a> reported. The pact reportedly arose from a conversation between the Meta CEO and House speaker, Mike Johnson, at the US state dinner for Xi Jinping, which preceded the conclave of the tech CEOs. Zuckerberg circulated a draft of the agreement in advance of the convening, and Huang threw his support behind it, per Semafor.<\/p>\n It is one thing for tech executives to dine at the White House to curry favor with the president; it is entirely another to have them draft the terms of executive orders. Silicon Valley\u2019s CEOs are writing contracts that bear the White House letterhead, entrenching their interests and their power.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s almost like a constitution in a way, and the biggest \u200bpeople in the world signed that, and \u200bI signed it as president, and it really \u2060is a form of protection,\u201d Trump said. Famously, constitutions are legally binding, which Zuckerberg and Trump\u2019s agreement is not.<\/p>\n The president also decreed that government documents render any reference to \u201cartificial intelligence\u201d as \u201csuper intelligence\u201d. How loyal will they be to his rebrand?<\/p>\n At least one acquiesced immediately: Musk copied the renaming by changing the name of one of his company\u2019s subsidiaries from SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI. The change coincided with the multi-CEO\u2019s re-entry into government work more than a year after his explosive term at Doge ended. On Thursday, the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth<\/a>, named Musk to a taskforce to study the future of warfare alongside Palmer Luckey and Emil Michael, dubbed Project Meridian. The trio of men will release a report in 120 days with public recommendations on how to achieve \u201cabsolute technological dominance on the next-generation battlefield\u201d, in the words of Hegseth.<\/p>\n Over the weekend, the president announced that he had appointed Jay Clayton, director of national intelligence, as the AI czar of his administration.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s first AI czar was a Silicon Valley insider. David Sacks is a venture capitalist who championed growth and deregulation during his term as a special government employee. He maintained direct financial stakes in multiple AI companies while working with the White House, indicating his ultimate goal was to build a bigger fortune. (He\u2019s made a name for himself recently championing AI accelerationism, the opposing philosophical camp to the \u201cdoomerism\u201d of the Anthropic employees who prophesy extinction.)<\/p>\n
