World Economic Forum says Billionaire Elon Musk was not on the guest list for Annual Meeting of Business ExecutivesGlobal leader and cultural trend-setter in Davos, Switzerland – despite the claims of the owner of Twitter.
Celebrities from European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen to actor Idris Elba are gathering in the glitzy Alpine town this week to talk global issues ranging from war to climate change and the impact of technology on security.
Mr Musk was not there, although he says he was invited. Forum spokesman Yann Zoff knocked on Tuesday, saying the last time a Tesla CEO received an invitation was “not this year and not recently — the last time was in 2015.”
Mr Musk said in a tweet on 22 December: “My reason for declining the invitation to Davos was not because I thought they were engaged in a diabolical conspiracy, but because it sounded boring.”
Mr. Zoff said that “Mr. Musk never registered for any of the annual meetings in Davos.
Mr Musk did not immediately respond to requests AP Tuesday for comment.
The gathering has been criticized for the lack of concrete action that emerged after a series of sessions and speeches, while the forum itself has been the target of conspiracy theories online from those who believe the forum comprises a group. The elite are manipulating global events for their own benefit.
Mr. Musk, a multibillionaire who is one of the richest people in the world, can certainly afford the right to attend Davos.
Forum members pay an annual “partnership” – between 120,000 and 850,000 Swiss francs ($130,000–$921,000) for membership – depending on the level of affiliation they want.
Forum officials had invited Mr. Musk, as Tesla’s boss, to attend a few times in the 2010s — the last time in 2015, but he never registered, and never attended the annual meeting, Mr. Zoff said. Told.
Many executives still travel to Davos to take part in meetings and mingle with corporate executives who flock to the city, sometimes taking potshots from the sidelines of the podium. Richard Branson, the British tycoon behind Virgin, has reputedly come to the meeting several times without attending, for example.
