Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Jensen Huang will share billing at a technology-focused Group of 20 ministerial meeting in North Carolina next week, according to Reuters.

The gathering marks one of the few times that Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) chief Musk, OpenAI’s Altman and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) leader Huang will appear on the same agenda.
Musk will join former White House AI czar David Sacks and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) President Dina Powell McCormick in virtual remarks on Sept. 1. Huang and Altman are scheduled to speak in person the following day.
The event fits into the Trump administration’s broader push to keep Silicon Valley leaders close while it courts investment pledges and shapes AI policy ahead of December’s G20 leaders’ summit.
Sacks and White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios already co-chair the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Huang and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg sit on that panel too, Reuters reported in March.
A joint stage for Musk, Altman and Huang has been unusual lately. Both Musk and Huang skipped a high-profile White House dinner last September that drew more than 30 tech executives. Musk said on social media he had been invited but “could not attend.”
Huang, meanwhile, has developed a pattern of favoring smaller, one-on-one sessions with the administration over large group settings, according to Fortune.
Still, the three men have crossed paths before. Musk, Altman and Huang all attended a Saudi Arabia investment forum alongside Trump in May 2025. Huang detailed plans there to supply the kingdom with Blackwell chips, and Trump announced a Saudi investment pledge tied partly to AI infrastructure.
Next week’s North Carolina meeting adds another data point for traders tracking how closely AI’s biggest names are aligning with the White House on policy.
Nvidia and Tesla shares have each moved on headlines tied to Musk’s and Huang’s political proximity this year. Commentary from the event could ripple through chip and AI infrastructure names.
Federal contracts, export rules for advanced chips and Musk’s Starlink and SpaceX ambitions all sit close to the administration’s tech agenda, giving the meeting more market relevance than a typical policy roundtable.
