Emmanuel Macron will meet Elon Musk on the sidelines of the VivaTech show
This will be the third meeting between the leader of the 7th world power on one side and the richest man in the world on the other. While Elon Musk is in Paris on the occasion of VivaTech (organized by the Les Echos-Le Parisien Group and Publicis), the boss of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter must meet Emmanuel Macron on Friday, confirmed the latter in the aisles of the Europe’s largest tech fair .
” We’ll talk artificial intelligence where he is involved , social networks, regulatory frameworks, ”said the President of the Republic, quoted by AFP. “I will also talk to him about automobiles, batteries, this sector, to praise the attractiveness of France and Europe,” he added.
The French government also wants to convince Elon Musk to set up a Tesla battery factory in France . The French government hopes to convince Elon Musk that “France is the best possible place in Europe to set up the next Tesla factory”, entrusted the Minister Delegate for Digital, Jean-Noël Barrot, on Wednesday on CNBC.
“Significant investments” by Tesla in France?
Emmanuel Macron and Elon Musk had already met a month ago, to the day, on May 15. The boss had then appeared as a surprise guest of the “Choose France” summit . Invited by Emmanuel Macron, he said he had “good hope that Tesla will do in the future significant investments in France “.
On the regulatory side, Twitter is part of of the main targets of the regulations already adopted and in preparation, in particular to combat online hate. After the takeover of Twitter at the end of October for 44 billion dollars, the richest man in the world is advancing his absolutist vision of freedom of expression, which notably allows the dissemination of violent content.
On artificial intelligence too, Europe is working. Emmanuel Macron wishes to “pre-empt” certain provisions of the future European regulation on AI to put them in place in France without delay, in particular the obligation to inform the user that content is produced by artificial intelligence, specified the Elysée.
