President Trump just hosted a tech dinner at the White House.

One by one, top Tech CEOs delivered Major Announcements — directly reporting to the American people.

Here’s everything you should know (and no joke, it gets crazier the further you read): 🧵

1/ Tim Cook (Apple):

"We're very proud to do it... I want to thank you for setting the tone such that we could make a major investment in the United States."

Advanced manufacturing returning to America.

2/ Sergey Brin (Google):

$250 billion over the next two years.

"The AI moment is one of the most transformative moments any of us have ever seen or will see in our lifetimes."

Just settled major Biden-era lawsuit.

3/ Satya Nadella (Microsoft):

$75-80 billion annually in U.S. investments.

"The trust the world has on American technology... is perhaps the most important issue and your policies are really helping a lot."

4/ Sam Altman (OpenAI):

7/ Mark Zuckerberg (Meta):

8/ Trump's Response:

"We're leading China, but we're leading the world by a lot."

9/ The Hidden Context:

Same day: First Lady hosted AI education summit.

"Nothing more important than education... it is the great equalizer." - Tim Cook

10/ Strategic Positioning:

Trump on tariffs: Companies building in U.S. get no tariff.

Those not coming to America face "fairly substantial tariff."

Clear message: Build here or pay the price.

11/ What This Really Means:

Largest private-public AI alliance in history.

American tech industry fully aligned with Trump administration.

Clear strategy to dominate global AI development.

12/ The Bottom Line:

This wasn't just a dinner. It was a declaration.

The global AI race just shifted dramatically in America's favor.
