While Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH, attended with two of his sons, Antoine and Alexandre Arnault, the Tesla CEO was accompanied by his mother, Maye Musk. But the nature of the talks between both billionaires was not made public, but it is anticipated that the talks could have included Arnault’s involvement.

Elon Musk went to the seventh Viva Technology conference after lunch, which was held in Pairs, France from June 14 to June 17. The Publicis Groupe SA and Les Echos, both owned by LVMH, created the annual conference. Notably, it is Europe’s biggest startup and tech event to foster innovation by bringing together investors, significant organisations, tech gurus, and entrepreneurs.

Official speakers at the technology conference included Elon Musk and Bernard Arnault. Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, Marc Benioff, the co-founder of Salesforce, and Yann LeCun, the vice president and chief AI scientist at Meta, among others, were among the other speakers.
