Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos and Tesla Motors Inc. CEO Elon Musk will be among those attending President-elect Donald Trump’s gathering of technology industry leaders Wednesday in New York, people familiar with the matter said.

An invitation to the meeting went out last week from members of Trump’s transition team, including venture capitalist Peter Thiel. Oracle Corp. co-CEO Safra Catz, Cisco Systems Inc.’s Chuck Robbins and Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg plan to attend. Alphabet Inc.’s Larry Page and Eric Schmidt will be there too, as will Apple Inc.’s Tim Cook, according to people familiar with the matter. IBM CEO Ginni Rometty -- who is on Trump’s advisory panel of business leaders -- will also attend, said a person familiar with her plans.
