Trump pulls AI safety order after last-minute calls from Musk, Zuckerberg, and Sacks

Trump scrapped a planned AI safety executive order hours before signing it after last-minute lobbying from Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and David Sacks.

The order would have set up a voluntary federal review process for advanced AI models before release, but critics feared it could become a regulatory burden.

The reversal highlights how major tech leaders can shape AI policy as the US balances safety oversight with the race against China.
