Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are attending Monday's inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, NBC News reported.
The three tech moguls will be seated together on a platform with other notable guests like Trump's Cabinet nominees and elected officials, an official told NBC News.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla, Space X, and X, formerly known as Twitter, spent $250 million to get Trump elected and has been tapped by Trump to co-lead DOGE, a new advisory group devoted to government efficiency.
Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, announced a change in his site's content moderation policies in the wake of Trump's victory and has given interviews detailing how the Biden administration aggressively prompted him to fact-check posts about COVID-19. Meta donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund.
Bezos, the founder of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post, decided the newspaper would not endorse a presidential candidate, going against the editorial board, which intended on endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Amazon also provided $1 million to the inauguration fund.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the trio have a combined net worth of $885 billion and are the three wealthiest people in the world.
Space X and Amazon are major federal contractors, while Meta faces an April antitrust trial from the Federal Trade Commission for having a monopoly on social networks, Reuters reported.
Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos have been longtime rivals in the tech industry, NBC News said. Bezos' Blue Origin is competing with Musk's Space X, while Zuckerberg and Musk have both funded billions of dollars into AI research. By purchasing Twitter, Musk and Zuckerberg both now own social media companies. Amazon and Meta compete for advertising and shopping business, NBC News reported.
