Besides the former presidents, their family members and US officials you’d expect to see at Donald Trump’s inauguration, there were also a group of familiar faces for less traditional reasons.
We’ve seen OpenAI CEO Sam Altman taking selfies with influencer brothers Logan and Jake Paul, controversial Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor chatting with British politician Nigel Farage.
Also in attendance are tech billionaires such as Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
We’ll continue to spot notable and unusual names in the audience as the day progresses.
Trump’s close and controversial friendship with X owner Elon Musk is well known, but Musk isn’t the only tech chief at Monday’s inauguration.
Mark Zuckerberg, who announced earlier this month that Meta would get rid of fact-checkers and “significantly reduce the amount of oversight” on its platforms, is also in attendance.
Another tech billionaire in attendance was OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who was photographed taking a group selfie with boxer and influencer Jake Paul, and Paul’s brother, wrestler and influencer Logan.
MacGregor was also pictured alongside UK Reform Party leader Nigel Farage at a Trump rally on Sunday evening.
Rupert Murdoch, chairman emeritus of News Corporation, which owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the Sun & Times, will attend with his fifth wife, Elena Zhukova.
Murdoch (93 years old) married the retired Russian biologist last year in a ceremony held at his vineyard in California.
As is usual at the presidential inauguration ceremony, a number of former US presidents are in attendance.
The media has reported a lot about Michelle Obama, who attended Trump’s first inauguration in 2017, and did not accompany her husband, Barack, to Trump’s inauguration on Monday.
In addition to Obama, who was in power before the start of Trump’s last term, there are former presidents, including Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
Another familiar face is former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
When Johnson took power in 2019, Trump described him as a “good man,” adding: “They call him Britain’s Trump.”
