Paris – French President Emmanuel Macron tried to brush any indication that there were full feelings concerning the decision of the Billionaire of the Elon Musk technology magnate not to attend the French President’s artificial intelligence summit in Paris.

“This is normal, he now has federal responsibilities and he works on his task of simplifying the American administration,” Macron told journalists after a meeting in a start-up incubator in the French capital on Tuesday.
