Trump Stalls AI Executive Order After Calls With Tech Titans

President Trump hit the brakes on signing a planned AI executive order at the last minute. The reason? According to sources, he "just hates regulation."

The signing was supposed to be a big photo op. Tech and AI CEOs were lined up to surround Trump as he put pen to paper on Thursday. Everything was ready to go.

Then it wasn't.

Just before the delay, Trump spoke with three major tech figures: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and David Sacks. What exactly was said in those conversations remains unclear, but the timing is hard to ignore.

The executive order's fate is now in limbo. Trump's well-documented aversion to regulation appears to have won out over whatever momentum had been building toward formalizing AI policy through executive action.
