Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk met with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy at the US Capitol in Washington on Thursday evening, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.
McCarthy, leaving the meeting with Musk in his office, declined to comment other than to say: “He came for my birthday.” McCarthy turned 58 on Thursday.
CNN has reached out to Musk for comment on what the two men said during the meeting.
Musk has developed a reputation as a polarizing figure in the tech industry and for his political views. He has frequently weighed in publicly on US policy and the political landscape in recent months.
The meeting comes amid a political power shift in Washington after Republicans took control of the House of Representatives in January and elected McCarthy as speaker.
