While the event marked a significant political moment, it was the actions of two tech giants, Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk, that caught the internet’s attention

Some of the most exclusive seats at President Donald Trump’s inauguration were reserved for powerful tech CEOs who also are among the world’s richest men.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale told "The Will Cain Show" that the battle against the "woke mind virus" is not yet "won" despite Big Tech's embrace of Trump.

Some of the tech industry’s biggest names were present at Trump’s inauguration. Among the attendees were Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai.

President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony inside the Capitol Rotunda has a limited capacity of about 600 people, making the seats inside the nation’s Capitol the most sought-after seats in Washington.

During an episode of the 'All In' podcast recorded this year, Trump said: "Somebody graduates at the top of the class, they can't even make a deal with the company because they don't think they're going to be able to stay in the country. That is going to end on Day 1."

Among the guests at Donald Trump's second inauguration in Washington, D.C. today were three billionaire tech CEOs: Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Tesla's Elon Musk, and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg. They were also joined by Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order Monday to keep TikTok operating for 75 days, a relief to the social media platform’s users even as national security questions persist.

Trump's inauguration drew several business and tech CEOs, including Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and TikTok's Shou Zi Chew.

A photograph captured during the event showed Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk using smartphones. Pichai was seen with what appeared to be Google's latest Pixel 9 series (which makes sense for the Google boss), while Musk held an iPhone 16 Pro — a surprising choice considering Musk's past criticism of Apple.
