  1. Attendees, with white-and-red gift bags and lanyards, knew to be closelipped when approached by hotel interlopers
    or by the Times reporter, who was not invited to the closed-press festivities.

    But a copy of the agenda listed remarks by several tech billionaires, including the Anduril co-founder #Palmer #Luckey and the venture capitalist #Marc #Andreessen, who spoke about his support for deregulating technology
    and the mixed reaction in Silicon Valley to his endorsement of Mr. Trump, according to attendees.

    There were tech up-and-comers, too:
    Donald Trump #Jr. announced at the welcome dinner that he was entering venture capital.

    And days before the president-elect chose Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. for health and human services secretary,
    Mr. Kennedy spoke extensively about his public-health work to a standing ovation.

    Ms. #Wiles also led a session on “2024 Election Analysis,” where she gave a preview of Mr. Trump’s first days as president.

    “It’s the domestic ‘Davos in the desert,’” said the Rockbridge backer #Omeed #Malik, referring to the annual business conference in Riyadh, and Donald Trump Jr.’s new business partner.

    ➡️Rockbridge began with more humility.

    Back in 2019, Mr. #Vance, then best known as the author of “Hilbilly Elegy,” and a conservative media figure named #Chris #Buskirk began informally hosting a series of small dinners
    that would eventually become called Rockbridge.

    The group drew early support from the venture capitalist #Peter #Thiel and eventually caught the attention of Donald J. Trump, who spoke at a few meetings.

    Once in the fall and once in the spring, Rockbridge began to gather at places like the Four Seasons in Palm Beach, Fla.,
    or the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas for three days of political panels and business networking.

    Speakers included people like #Tucker #Carlson; the Thiel protégé #Blake #Masters; the casino mogul #Steve #Wynn; the investor #David #Sacks; and #Woody #Johnson, the billionaire owner of the New York Jets.

    Not all attendees have politics at the top of their mind.

    Some are primarily interested in business, seeing Rockbridge as a conservative-tinged version of the elite Sun Valley conference.

  2. Donald Trump, facing a cash crunch that puts him at a severe disadvantage to President Biden, dined on Thursday night with a small group of donors including the hedge fund billionaire #Robert #Mercer and his daughter #Rebekah, according to two people with knowledge of the event.
    Mr. Trump’s dinner companions also included the entrepreneur #Omeed #Malik, the cosmetics firm founder #Trish #McEvoy and the real estate management billionaire #Richard #Kurtz, one of the people said.
    The Mercers, Ms. McEvoy and Mr. Kurtz did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesman for Mr. Malik declined to comment, and a Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

    The Mercers were a critical source of support behind Mr. Trump’s win in the 2016 presidential election.
    In addition to giving donations, they pushed him to make changes to his political team, including making #Kellyanne #Conway his campaign manager and #Stephen #Bannon his chief executive.
