President Donald Trump<\/a> hosted a high-powered group of tech executives at the White House on Thursday as he showcased research on artificial intelligence<\/a> and boasted of investments that companies are making around the United States.<\/p>\n

Trump has exulted in the attention from some of the world\u2019s most successful businesspeople, while the companies are eager to remain on the good side of the mercurial president.<\/p>\n

While the executives praised Trump and talked about their hopes for technological advancement, the Republican president was focused on dollar signs. He went around the table and asked executives how much they were investing in the country.<\/p>\n

Notably absent from the guest list was Elon Musk<\/a>, once a close ally of Trump who was tasked with running the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk had a public breakup<\/a> with Trump earlier this year.<\/p>\n
