Trump's First Week in Office and He's Already Zooming into 666 WEF DAVOS25!

🛑 Trump 2.0 boosts interest in Davos: World Economic Forum chief

"It's true that everyone here is very interested to understand more what Trump 2.0 is all about," WEF President Borge Brende told AFP in an interview. "We will also have a clear American footprint here in Davos," Brende said.

US captains of industry are among the many CEOs who flock to Davos every year, but the WEF hopes that it will get a visit one day from the world's richest man -- Trump backer and Tesla chief Elon Musk, who once derided the gathering as "boring".

"Elon Musk is more than welcome this year and also next year. And next year, maybe he can come with Mr Trump," Brende said.

This year's meeting also comes at a crossroads for the WEF as its 86-year-old German-born founder, Klaus Schwab, stepped back from the executive leadership of the organisation.

Brende took over the executive functions.
