Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla and SpaceX, arrives in superstardom this Friday in Paris, where he will give a conference in front of 4,000 “tech” enthusiasts, after a meeting at the end of the morning with President Macron.
On the menu for their discussions: artificial intelligence (AI), social networks, regulation, the French president had listed on Wednesday in the aisles of VivaTech, the major European “tech” fair (co-organized by the group Les Echos – Le Parisien ). “I will also talk to him about cars, batteries, this sector, to praise the attractiveness of France and Europe”.
Emanuel Macron, who has already met Elon Musk twice in recent months, hopes to convince him to set up a Tesla factory in France.
At the Choose France summit in mid-May in Versailles, the billionaire had promised that the electric car manufacturer would make “significant investments in France”. Nothing came, and his choice could be Spain, in competition with France, almost four years after choosing Berlin for the first Tesla factory in Europe.
The boss of LVMH, Bernard Arnault, also owner of the Les Echos-Le Parisien group, will also meet Elon Musk on Friday, with whom he shares the head of the annual ranking of the world’s richest people from Forbes magazine. “I have lunch with him, I know him of course. I think he is an exceptional entrepreneur,” he said Thursday at the microphone of the program “Quotidien”.
Scheduled for 4:00 p.m., her speech at VivaTech risks overshadowing the news of the show a little, where on Friday, at the same time, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne will go accompanied by four ministers (Education, Research, Gender Equality , Digital) to promote gender equality in tech and digital.
