Donald Trump was sworn in as U.S. President on Monday night. The world watched closely.
People tune in to Trump for many reasons. He is unpredictable, says shocking things, and often gets in trouble, but he still comes out on top. His presidency has also been very controversial.
Many wondered who would attend the inauguration and what the other presidents would do. Critics and comedians paid close attention, and Trump is the focus of most of their material.
Several top billionaires attended the swearing-in ceremony. Mark Zuckerberg of Meta was there, as was Jeff Bezos of Amazon. Shou Zi Chew of TikTok showed up. Sundar Pichai of Google joined, and Elon Musk attended as well. These men are among the richest people in the world. They all sat together.
Elon Musk played a big role in Trump's re-election campaign. Musk is the richest person globally. His companies, like X and SpaceX, benefit from government contracts.
It seems these billionaires are working with the new administration. They each have their own goals. For example, Chew wants Trump to lift the ban on TikTok in America. The Senate tried to block the app last year. Zuckerberg has also faced government penalties before.
The link between wealthy elites and politicians is well-known. The rich influence politics with money and power. They help leaders who will support their interests. Lately, this has become more obvious. The elites openly back certain candidates. They try to sway voters. Once their pick wins, they share their opinions and plans.
Presidents and heads of state often break laws to please their financial supporters. This is a serious concern.
