Trump, a populist president, is flanked by tech billionaires at his inauguration

Associated Press  

▶ Follow live updates on President Donald Trump’s return to Washington NEW YORK — Some of the most exclusive seats at President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday were reserved for powerful tech CEOs who also happen to be among the world’s richest men. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, stand beside Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his fiancee, Lauren Sánchez, along with Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk, one of Trump’s closest advisers. The mega-rich have long had a prominent role in national politics, and several billionaires helped bankroll the campaign of Trump’s Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Speaking in the Oval Office Monday, Trump rejected Biden’s criticism, saying the tech executives supported Democrats until they realized Biden “didn’t know what the hell he was talking about.” “They did desert him,” Trump added.
