On September 2, local time, the US “Politician News Network” quoted three people familiar with the matter as saying that the White House is pressuring many US space companies, including Musk's SpaceX, to refuse an invitation from French President Emmanuel Macron and voluntarily give up attending the space summit to be held in Paris next week. These sources also said that White House officials complained on the phone that France “did not coordinate with the US” when preparing for this summit and accused France of “anti-competitive behavior.” Furthermore, the White House also hinted that the expert panel discussions at the summit did not include the views of the US side, which may weaken the relevant efforts of the US industry. Other sources revealed that the US side also expressed “concern” about China's attendance at the summit. Although White House officials stressed that in the end it is up to each company to decide whether to attend, people familiar with the matter believe that the government seems to be discouraging companies from attending the conference. The report pointed out that this sudden act of pressure from the White House left many business executives deeply confused and overwhelmed.
