Billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zucker berg will attend Donald Trump’s inauguration next week, NBC news reported Tuesday, further highlighting the tech moguls’ efforts to develop closer ties with the incoming president.
The network, citing an unnamed official involved in planning the January 20 ceremony, said the three men will be seated together on the platform with prominent guests, including Trump cabinet nominees.
Musk -- the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and the majority owner of X -- has become one of Trump’s closest allies and his planned presence at the ceremony is not a surprise. Musk shares Trump’s hard-right politics and put millions of dollars into supporting his presidential campaign.
Trump has tapped Musk to co-lead an advisory commission aiming to slash federal spending and bureaucracy, which while dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE,” will not be an official US agency. Bezos and Zuckerberg have less close ties with Trump, but both have made moves since the election viewed as seeking to curry favor with the president-elect, including meeting with him at his Mar-a-Lago resort
