Fevery are preparations for the elected president of the United States, Monday (20.01. 25) with three former US presidents and Technology magnates among the guests at the ceremony. When Donald Trump is sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, at the inauguration ceremony he will be surrounded by the technology titans he believes will offer freedom of speech. CORVERSE Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and owner of the Washington Post, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, Sam Altman, the greatest name in Artificial Intelligence and Shou Chew, CEO of TikTok, will all have honorary positions, according to a senior executive of the transition period. Specifically, as Daily Mail reports, they will have positions among the highest VIPs, next to Donald Trump’s family and former presidents. “I think the message he sends is, first, the importance of freedom of speech,” says an official. “At the same time, all these create very large numbers of jobs in the country which the president aims at in his second term. Because, the five guests, they are not just children of technology, but an app like TikTok helps thousands of content creators live”, as he notes. Sound answer to Joe Biden This decision by Donald Trump will be seen simultaneously as a sound response to President Joe Biden, who, during his farewell speech Wednesday, sent a warning about the technical Titans surrounding Donald Trump and the danger they may bring to the lives of the American people, social media and Artificial Intelligence. ADVERSION “Today, an oligarchy forms in America with extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy,” he said in his speech from the Oval Office. Musk’s role and Zuckerberg’s attitude change Elon Musk has already won a place in Donald Trump’s narrow circle. He lives in a bungalow in Mar-a-Lago, and very often interferes in the interior parties with advice and statements. In fact, as the report says, at times, it has been described as de facto vice president. Instead, the other four technology personalities were forced to change their attitude towards Donald Trump, as during his first term they openly criticised him for various issues. In fact, in his campaign Donald Trump had warned Mark Zuckerberg that “he would spend the rest of his life in prison” if he did not cooperate with him. When he finally took the keys to the White House, the founder of Facebook was forced to “conciliate” with him. He has dineed with him twice at his headquarters in Mar-a-Lago, while Meta (the parent company of Facebook) donated $1 million for Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Surprise the presence of Shou Chew The presence of TikTok’s Shou Chew may once be considered a surprise. During his first term, the U.S. elected president tried to close the video sharing app, in the wake of concerns that the Chinese Communist Party could access user data.

The selling deadline expires on 19 January, the day before the inauguration, according to the Daily Mail. Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman Another guest is Jeff Bezos. He collided with many of his Washington Post associates during the election period, as he decided not to support any candidate for the US presidency. However, Amazon later donated $1 million for Donald Trump’s inauguration.
