Tech leaders like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Sundar Pichai joined Donald Trump for a church service ahead of his inauguration.
Along with them were other prominent figures like media mogul Rupert Murdoch and former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
These business leaders were once critical of Trump, especially on issues like climate change and immigration.
Despite past disagreements, these executives appear to be showing support for Trump. Some, like Elon Musk, have closely aligned with him, while others, such as Shou Zi Chou of TikTok and Sam Altman of OpenAI, are facing challenges related to US regulations.
This gathering of tech billionaires, including those with ongoing legal issues, marks a major moment in Washington, as it’s rare for so many powerful figures to come together.
However, some, like former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, are critical of Trump’s new relationships with these executives, calling it a shift from his earlier stance against big corporations.
According to BBC, this complicated dynamic raises questions about how Trump will handle business policies during his second term.
