All of them in a room together sounds like torture.

Elon is going to try and be the class clown,
Tim Cook has no power now
Do the banking titans get along?
Boeing will have their phones and computers scanned
Blackrock? They aid in the "recovery" of major catastrophies in our markets. "During the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, the Fed turned to BlackRock to help it purchase distressed securities in an echo of 2008.[26]"

Are reporters going to be allowed in?

Would be a damn shame if anything happened to any of them... A propos of nothing, I wonder how you say Red Wedding in Chinese. 红色的结婚会 or something?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

I would have to imagine in all that Chinese history they have their own version of the red wedding meme.
