The World Economic Forum's 2023 Annual Meeting kicked off on the 16th of this month in the eastern Swiss town of Davos. According to the Associated Press on the 17th, Davos World Economic Forum spokesman Zopf said on the same day that although Musk claimed that he was invited to participate, he was actually not on the guest list of the 2023 annual meeting in Davos.
According to the report, Zopf said that the last time Musk received an invitation was "not this year, nor is it recent." but in 2015". Zopf also mentioned that although Musk had been invited before 2015, he had never actually registered or attended the meeting.
The Associated Press mentioned that Musk wrote in a tweet last December, "The reason I declined the Davos invitation was not because I thought they were engaged in a diabolical conspiracy, but because it (the annual meeting) sounded boring, haha." Musk did not specify in his tweet when he received the invitation. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the rebuttal from the World Economic Forum in Davos.
According to previous reports, the theme of the World Economic Forum 2023 Annual Meeting in Davos is "Strengthening Cooperation in a Divided World" and will last until the 20th of this month. The annual meeting brought together about 2,700 representatives from politics, business, academia and media from around the world, focusing on five major topics: how to deal with the food and energy crisis, how to deal with high inflation, low growth and high debt, how to deal with the industrial downturn, how to deal with social vulnerability, and how to deal with geopolitical risks.
