Top US corporate titans including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Fink are heading to Saudi Arabia next week for an investor conference — even as President Trump himself flies to the oil-rich kingdom to meet with regional heads of state, The Post has learned.
The Saudi-US Investment Forum — which one insider branded “MAGA in the Desert” — will be held on May 13. Other guests will include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg and David Sacks, the White House czar for AI and crypto.
Government officials set to beat the drum for investing in the US include Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, sources told The Post.
“This is going to be MAGA in the desert. It is ultimately about creating jobs in the US,” said one source, who speculated that the value of the money-spinning investment contracts could be even higher than that sum.
Other business bigwigs including ex-Google financial chief Ruth Porat, Palantir CEO Alex Karp and PIMCO’s Emmanuel Roman will take part in panels and roundtable discussions, but the president himself is not currently set to appear at the event.
