President Joe Biden's pointed warning about the U.S. becoming an “ oligarchy ” of tech billionaires will be illustrated at Donald Trump's inauguration, when the world's three richest men will sit on the dais as Trump is sworn in for a second term.

Musk, who spent roughly half a billion of his own funds to help secure Trump’s 2024 election win over Vice President Kamala Harris, is set to play an outsized role in the 47th president’s incoming administration to the point of being reportedly given a coveted office inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building just steps from the White House.

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

Alphabet's Google, along with other companies such as Amazon and Meta, donated $1 million each to Trump's inaugural fund. Trump will likely dial back some of the antitrust policies pursued under former President Joe Biden, potentially including a bid to break up Google over its dominance in online search, experts said.

With the event being moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda, only 600 people will be allowed to view the inauguration in person. This includes President Joe Biden, members of Congress, and Trump's special guests.
