Who is attending Donald Trump's inauguration? | king5.com
With the swearing-in ceremony for President-elect Donald Trump moved indoors due to cold temperatures, only a select few hundred people were able to be in the same room. Let's take a look at who made it onto that exclusive list and who had to settle for the overflow room.
Key Attendees
The CEOs of Meta, X, and Amazon were seated prominently in front of the president-elect's entire Cabinet, underlining the significance Trump places on the heads of major companies and social media platforms compared to his agency heads. Notable figures included:
- Elon Musk - Vocal Trump supporter and owner of Tesla and X
- Sundar Pichai - CEO of Google
- Jeff Bezos - CEO of Amazon
- Mark Zuckerberg - CEO of Facebook
- Tim Cook - CEO of Apple
- Shou Zi Chew - CEO of TikTok
Despite the capacity reduction due to the venue change, the ceremony still attracted significant figures. Elon Musk, in particular, has been selected by Trump to lead an external government group focused on improving efficiency by reducing bureaucratic processes. Notably, Musk's mother, Maye Musk, secured a better seat than most House and Senate lawmakers.
The event also saw the presence of all nine Supreme Court justices, led by Chief Justice Roberts, with retired Justice Stephen Breyer also in attendance.
Other Attendees
Several high-profile guests who didn't make it to the main room gathered in the Capitol's visitor center to watch the inauguration on a large screen. 
Among them were:
- Evander Holyfield
Danica Patrick- Conor McGregor
- Jake Paul and Logan Paul
Open AI CEO Sam Altman was seen engaging in conversation with Logan Paul, known for his presence as a social media influencer and professional boxer. As Trump embarks on his second term in the White House, celebrities and business leaders are seeking to forge closer ties than in his initial tenure. The incoming president has already demonstrated his influence by intervening to prevent a TikTok ban over the weekend.
