What we found

Supports. Snopes, citing an official White House X post showing the accord, reports that Trump and a group of tech leaders signed the voluntary accord at the White House on Sept. 29.[1]

Supports. BBC reports Trump hosted top tech bosses at the White House and that the executives signed a 'morally binding' document, with the guest list including leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Nvidia, Meta and Google.[4]

Supports. AP and Brookings both report that the president and executives of half a dozen AI firms signed the accord on Sept. 29, naming Pichai, Amodei, Zuckerberg, Brockman, Musk and Huang as the signatories.[2][3]

Context. Some sources note that Nadella and Bezos attended the lunch but Microsoft and Amazon did not sign, so 'heads of six tech companies' refers to the six signatories rather than all attendees.[5][6]
