As promised, some of the world’s top tech CEOs from companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Google and many others met with President Donald Trump today, and some appeared to enjoy it more than others.

Trump was flanked by Apple CEO Tim Cook and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, during a brief period open to reporters. He thanked the tech luminaries for coming, said he wants to use technology to transform government and appreciates their outsider perspective. And then apparently this happened:

The joke didn’t appear to land well with some, specifically Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Let’s zoom in on the above photo for a closer look. Enhance!

Tech companies have played a huge role in the surging stock market. As of the end of May, one-third of all stock market gains this year have come from just five companies: Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Google and Apple. They also happen to be some of the world’s most valuable companies. The S&P 500 as a whole is up approximately 8 percent since Trump’s inauguration in January.

Here’s some more impressions from the media portion of the event.

The event Monday was part of a larger gathering between U.S. officials and tech leaders focused on using technology to improve government services, modernize outdated IT systems and improve efficiency. Discussions also included immigration and cybersecurity issues.

The meeting is part of the American Technology Council, a group formed by executive order in May to help government agencies modernize their digital services. It is run by former Microsoft and General Motors CFO Chris Liddell, who will is involved in Monday’s meeting with the tech CEOs. The organization is overseen by Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and a key advisor in the administration.

Notably absent from this list of attendees at the gathering was Facebook. Recode reports that Facebook was invited to the event, but that it will not be sending a representative. Elon Musk, who resigned from Trump’s advisory council following the decision to pull out of the Paris Climate Change Accords, also did not appear.
