Alphabet CEO Larry Page, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg are among the small group of top tech leaders who will attend a summit with President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday at Trump Tower in Manhattan, according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation.
Those who will be attending (although most of the companies declined to comment to Recode) along with Page, Cook and Sandberg, include: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella; Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins; IBM CEO Ginni Rometty; Intel CEO Brian Krzanich; and Oracle CEO Safra Catz.
“I plan to tell the President-elect that we are with him and will help in any way we can,” said Catz in a statement. “If he can reform the tax code, reduce regulation and negotiate better trade deals, the U.S. technology industry will be stronger and more competitive than ever.”
Oh, to be a fly on the wall of this meeting.

I would rather stick needles in my eyes than be in that room. 😉
Zuckerberg is sending Sandberg in place of himself. Hmmm …
Twitter is not on the list? Prob too small a company. But if Trump is going to talk to any tech company, it should be Twitter first?
Trump: Okay, here’s what I want you guys to do…
Tech Companies: Um, no.
Meeting over.
That would certainly be my favourite outcome.
Resist the Bozo. If they give an inch on anything, it will be a sad day in America.
He probably believes Twitter’s just part of the phone he uses it on.
