Vance's team denies reports of outburst during Musk-Huang meeting

Vance's team has categorically rejected claims that the vice president-elect used profanity or became visibly frustrated during an extended discussion between tech billionaires Elon Musk and Jensen Huang. A spokesperson for Vance described the allegations as "complete fabrication" with no basis in fact.

The reports, which circulated suggesting Vance's annoyance at the length of the AI-focused conversation between the Tesla and NVIDIA leaders, have drawn swift denials from his office. The incident allegedly occurred during what was described as a high-profile gathering of technology and political figures.

The episode underscores heightened scrutiny of interactions within incoming U.S. administration circles, particularly as tech industry leaders maintain close ties with government officials. Musk and Huang have emerged as influential voices in discussions surrounding artificial intelligence policy and development.

Vance's office has not elaborated further on the disputed encounter, instead emphasizing the inaccuracy of the accounts. The denial represents the latest in a series of controversies surrounding figures in the incoming administration's orbit.
