President Joe Biden refused to attempt naming an unknown tech firm during a San Francisco speech.

He then started naming a few other firms before giving up on one that was too perplexing.
"Leading tech companies, like Anthropic and, I'm going to mispronounce — I'm not gonna even try," Biden said to laughter from the audience. "It's better not to try and not mispronounce than try and mispronounce."

Biden, who turns 81 on Monday, has had trouble with the names of tech companies in the past.
