Some of the country's leading technology leaders are together at the Capitol Rotunda for President-elect Trump's inauguration as the industry gets closer to the incoming leader's orbit. Among those at the inauguration are Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has become a close ally of Trump and will lead the "Department of the Government Efficiency," (DOGE). OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman was also spotted at the inauguration events. The chorus of tech leaders standing nearby Trump on Monday would have been an unlikely scene during his first administration. In 2016, many of the same people voiced concerns about Trump’s ascendance in the political world.  AP The presence of the tech industry on Capitol Hill underscores the results of a months-long push by the industry to reconcile with the incoming president, who spent years hammering the companies in the traditionally deep-blue Silicon Valley. Democrats are fiercely pushing back on the emerging dynamics.   In his farewell speech last week, President Biden voiced concerns of an “oligarchy” of “extreme wealth, power and influence” forming in America. He did not directly name Trump or his billionaire allies but went on to call out Meta for ending its fact-checking program amid the threat of misinformation and disinformation.
