Tech giants Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos will join Trump at his inauguration, marking a shift in their relationship with the president.
Washington: So, guess what? Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos are all set to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration. Can you believe it? NBC News broke the story, and it’s pretty wild.
They’ll be right up there on the platform with other big names, like cabinet officials and elected leaders. It’s a big deal, showing how the tech world is warming up to Trump as he starts his second term.
Remember how Bezos and Trump used to clash? They had their fair share of spats over Amazon and The Washington Post. Zuckerberg wasn’t exactly on Trump’s Christmas card list either, especially with all the talk about immigration and misinformation.
But now, things seem to have changed. The tech industry is throwing some cash into Trump’s inaugural fund, and a few CEOs are even singing his praises. Musk has taken on a role in Trump’s administration, focusing on cutting government waste. He’s been hanging out with Trump at Mar-a-Lago too.
And get this, both Amazon and Meta have chipped in $1 million each for the inauguration. Google and OpenAI’s Sam Altman did the same, while Apple’s Tim Cook also contributed, though Apple hasn’t confirmed it yet.
It’s all pretty interesting, right? Let’s see how this plays out!
