Donald Trump’s inauguration was attended by a range of high-profile figures, including tech billionaires, influencers, and global leaders. Among the notable guests were Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Boris Johnson, who were seated together at St. John’s Church. Elon Musk, a prominent Trump supporter during the election, was also present, conversing with Sundar Pichai and other industry giants like Amazon’s Bezos and Google’s Pichai.
The ceremony saw various international figures, including Argentina’s far-right president, Javier Milei, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, sharing light moments. UFC president Dana White and influencers Jake and Logan Paul also attended, reflecting Trump’s broad appeal across different sectors. Despite the tradition of limiting foreign leaders, Trump invited world figures like Chinese President Xi Jinping, although he declined the invitation.
While Trump’s family, including wife Melania and son Barron, were there, there was an awkward moment when Trump tried to kiss Melania, but her wide-brimmed hat blocked the gesture. The event also saw outgoing President Joe Biden entering the Capitol with his wife Jill, marking the final moments of his presidency, while former candidates, including Kamala Harris, watched the handover with mixed emotions.
