NBC News reported on January 15th that tech billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg will attend the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump next week.
The CEOs of Tesla, Amazon, and Meta are expected to make a prominent appearance at the event, sitting alongside cabinet nominees and other elected officials. Representatives for the three billionaires have not yet commented on the information.
Bezos's Amazon and Zuckerberg's Meta were among the companies that donated to Trump's inauguration, each contributing $1 million. Musk, the head of Tesla, SpaceX, and the social network X, spent more than $250 million helping Trump's campaign in the November 2024 election.
According to Forbes magazine's online ranking, Musk has a net worth of $417 billion and is the richest person in the world. He is followed by Bezos with $232 billion and Zuckerberg with $205.5 billion.
Regarding Trump's policies, the president-elect said he would establish a new government agency, called the Foreign Revenue Agency, to collect taxes and other revenues from foreign sources, as he prepares to implement new import tariffs.
In a social media post, Trump said the new agency would be established as early as January 20th, the day he takes office, adding that Americans have been taxed by the Internal Revenue Service for too long.
"Through weak and disastrous trade agreements, the American economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the world while taxing itself. It's time that changed," he wrote.
A spokesperson for Trump's transition team has not commented to clarify Trump's statement or explain how the new agency will function.
