Who is attending Donald Trump's inauguration? | 13wmaz.com
With the swearing-in ceremony for President-elect Donald Trump moved indoors due to cold temperatures, only a few hundred people are able to be in the room where that's taking place. Here's a look at who made the cut on that exclusive list and who was bumped to an overflow room.
Key Attendees
The CEOs of Meta, X, and Amazon sat in front of the president-elect’s entire Cabinet, highlighting the importance Trump has given the heads of some of the most powerful companies and social media platforms over his agency heads. Vocal Trump ally Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and the social platform X, was seen along with Google’s Sundar Pichai and Amazon owner Jeff Bezos. Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg and Apple CEO Tim Cook were also in the audience. The CEO of TikTok, Shou Zi Chew, was also spotted in the rotunda.
Supreme Court and Other Notable Attendees
The capacity shrunk significantly when the ceremony was moved indoors due to cold temperatures. All nine Supreme Court justices were present in the Capitol rotunda, entering led by Chief Justice Roberts. Retired Justice Stephen Breyer also attended. Other big-name attendees who didn't make the cut for the main room watched the inauguration ceremonies on a large screen at the Capitol’s visitor center. Celebrities such as Evander Holyfield, Danica Patrick, Conor McGregor, Jake Paul, and Logan Paul were seen in the Emancipation Hall. Open AI CEO Sam Altman was spotted talking with Logan Paul, a social media influencer and professional boxer.
Relationships and Interactions
As Trump enters the White House for the second time, some celebrities and business leaders have sought closer relationships than during his first term. Trump has already shown to be a valuable ally, intervening over the weekend in an attempt to halt a ban on TikTok.
