Billionaire tech CEOs Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Sundar Pichai of Google, Tim Cook of Apple, and Elon Musk got prime seats at President Trump’s inauguration in the Capitol

In the Capitol Rotunda in Washington D.C. yesterday, as Donald Trump was sworn back into office, the pecking order of the new regime was very clear indeed. Seated in front of the incoming Cabinet were the tech titans and (a courtesy granted to very few) their wives and partners.

The president was sworn in at noon inside the Capitol Rotunda. Though inauguration typically takes place on the Capitol's West Front overlooking the Ellipse, with temperatures in the low 20s, it was moved inside. The viewing, the Inaugural Parade and a celebration were all be held inside Capital One Arena.

Scoffed a source: "Can you imagine [Bloomberg, Giuliani or Koch] driving... in the middle of the night to attend an inauguration, and being relegated [to overflow]?"

Trump has found the real power in America lies in controlling the narrative and social media is the key. By bombarding the American public with a relentless stream of word salad he has worn out his opponents, energized his base and convinced the uninterested to look elsewhere.
