| [Bloomberg] Elon Musk said Saudi Arabia will authorize the use of his company SpaceX’s Starlink service for aviation and maritime shipping as the kingdom strikes about $600 billion in investment commitments during President Donald Trump’s visit. The billionaire announced the news at a summit held in Riyadh and attended by dozens of US executives, including other Big Tech leaders including OpenAI Inc. Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman and Amazon.com Inc. chief Andy Jassy. Musk also said he displayed his Tesla Inc. Optimus robots doing "the Trump dance," to the president and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman during meetings on Tuesday. Musk pitched services from across his empire, including robotaxis and The Boring Company tunnels as part of his vision to improve life in Saudi Arabia. |
