While the event marked a significant political moment, it was the actions of two tech giants, Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk, that caught the internet’s attention

Major tech companies like Meta, Apple, Google and TikTok were represented in the front row at Trump's second presidential inauguration.

In a viral picture circulating online, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Tesla CEO Elon Musk were spotted engrossed in their smartphones. Sundar Pichai was seen using the latest-generation Pixel series phone—either the Pixel 9 or Pixel 9 XL—while Elon Musk was holding an iPhone 16 Pro.

Musk is the richest person in the world with a net worth of $449 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He sat alongside Zuckerberg and Bezos, cheering Trump on during his inaugural speech.

The blossoming relationship between President Donald Trump and tech titan Elon Musk was on full display throughout Monday's inauguration ceremonies.

Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos. Mark Zuckerberg. Sundar Pichai. They are all here for Donald Trump's inauguration as he makes a remarkable return to the presidency.

Some of the most exclusive seats at President Donald Trump’s inauguration were reserved for powerful tech CEOs who also are among the world’s richest men.

Among the guests at Donald Trump's second inauguration in Washington, D.C. today were three billionaire tech CEOs: Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Tesla's Elon Musk, and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg. They were also joined by Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

Geist said another target could be Canada’s Online News Act, which compels tech companies to enter into agreements with news publishers. Google, which is so far the only company to be captured under the legislation, has paid out $100 million to a journalism organization designed to disperse the funds.

About 44 percent of Trump’s election was funded by just 10 megadonors.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale told "The Will Cain Show" that the battle against the "woke mind virus" is not yet "won" despite Big Tech's embrace of Trump.
