On January 20, Sundar Pichai attends Donald Trump's inauguration alongside tech titans Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg. Because it falls on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, there is a significant overlap in presidential swearing-in ceremonies, making this event historic.
According to Reuters, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai is the newest person to be added to the list of attendees for Donald Trump's inauguration as US president on Monday. Other tech titans including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg will also be present at the event.Earlier in the day, Bloomberg News reported that Tim Cook of Apple will also be attending the event.
Who are the IT giants attending Donald Trump's inaugural ceremony?
According to NBC News, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, will be present at the ceremony and will be seated alongside the other notable attendees.
According to the article, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, who had contentious relations with Trump the previous year, would also be present at the ceremony and is expected to sit close to Musk. Hours before US President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural ceremony, Zuckerberg will cohost a reception with other billionaire Republican donors before attending the ceremony, according to sources cited by the Associated Press.
Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, and Jeff Bezos, the executive chairman of Amazon, are both attending the event. A request for comment on the reports from Reuters was not immediately answered by Apple.
The inauguration of Donald Trump
On Monday, January 20, Donald Trump will formally take office as the 47th president of the United States. For the second time, Trump will succeed incumbent Joe Biden as president of the United States of America.
On January 20, Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court will take the presidential oath of office in front of the Capitol in Washington, DC.
On the day of the inauguration, JD Vance will also take the oath of office as the United States' vice president. The vice president often takes the oath of office before the president.
Trump's inauguration this year falls on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, marking the first time a president has been sworn in on a federal holiday in this century. Typically, January 20 (or 21 if January 20 falls on a Sunday) is Inauguration Day; however, this overlap has resulted in special scheduling.
