CAUGHT on HOT MIC: Zuckerberg tells Trump he 'wasn't sure' how much to promise to spend in the U.S. - The Weekend - MSNBC
On Thursday, Trump hosted a White House dinner with tech leaders, including Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft’s Bill Gates, and Apple's Tim Cook. As Axios notes, the dinner comes as Big Tech pushes for a hands-off approach to AI from the government. But in a striking “hot mic” moment, after Zuckerberg shared plans for Meta to invest at least $600 billion in the U.S., he turned to Trump to say “Sorry, I wasn’t ready… I wasn’t sure what number you wanted to go with.” - Aired on 09/06/2025.
