Unless this photo was taken on the ground, having so many high-ranking billionaire types together on a flying (old) aircraft is not a great idea no matter how tight the security against incoming missiles, etc. Yeah, the odds are against an aircraft problem, but why take the chance?

The engine behind the posts
Natalie Harp, Trump’s executive assistant, plays an integral role in Trump’s Truth Social activity. She brings the president stacks of printed-out draft social-media posts for his approval. The proposed posts often recycle content from other accounts that Harp or advisers think would appeal to Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.

Harp then logs onto the president’s account—at times outside of normal work hours—and posts batches of Trump-approved messages, the people said. Trump personally signs off on all of the content posted to his account. While Harp often posts content on Trump’s behalf, the president posts some messages himself, White House officials said. Harp has frustrated some White House officials because she typically doesn’t share draft posts with the chief of staff’s office, communications aides or national-security officials. Harp has told others she works for Trump and only listens to him

She's the President/CEO of META and was formerly an Deputy National Security official for Trump on strategy in the Middle East, I think.

At any rate, the photo is not clear to me and I could be wrong as there is certainly the heavily made-up Mar-a-Lago look, but by contrast, this is Dina Powell McCormick (and she IS listed as accompanying with the other CEOS*:

At least the food.

Edit: yup it’s AI. The photo looked familiar to me as I remember Elon there with RFK eating McDonald’s. We should be more careful before posting this kind of stuff.

Where's the fried chicken feet in spicy tamarind sauce? Hakka fish platter on stir-fry buckwheat noodles and veg? Mapu Tofu? Nested Duck tongue soup and thousand year eggs?
The ubiquitous PuPu platter?
That's not Chinese food, that's a American "Asian inspired" Midwest style single pan meal.

1. The portions are enormous. Just look at those cups.
2. T****'s hand is way too large. Not to mention, he is apparently awake.

Someone manipulated a November 2024 pic of Trump, RFK jr, Don jr and Mike Johnson on an airplane, added a bunch of other people & replaced McDonald's food with food from Panda Express.
