Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk was seen on Capitol Hill on Wednesday for a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Musk told reporters that he and Schumer talked about the economy and the future of artificial intelligence. The two met for over an hour.
Schumer in a release from his office said the pair “had a very good meeting.”
“We talked about Buffalo, Tesla has a large plant in Buffalo. And we talked about AI,” Schumer said.
The senator added that he’d met with Musk once before, when he and former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) visited SpaceX, which Musk founded, about a decade ago.

Reuters initially reported the meeting, citing an aide. The Hill has reached out to Schumer’s office for details.
Musk met earlier this year on Capitol Hill with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to talk about ensuring the Twitter platform is fair to both political parties.
Alexander Bolton contributed to this report.
