Billionaires and Trump: A New Alliance

Washington DC, USAThu Jan 16 2025
The world's wealthiest people sitting together at Donald Trump's inauguration. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg might be there, showing their support for the new president. Musk, the richest person on the planet, has donated a lot of money to Trump's campaign. Bezos, the Amazon boss, blocked his newspaper from endorsing a candidate, and Zuckerberg, the Meta CEO, is changing his company's rules to favor conservative voices. They all seem to be moving closer to Trump's political views. But why are they doing this? Some people think they have their own reasons. Trump's economic plans might help the rich get richer while making life harder for everyone else. And it's not just tech billionaires. Even music stars like Carrie Underwood and the Village People are performing at the inauguration. They say music can bring people together, even in tough times. The inauguration is on Martin Luther King Day, a special day to remember the civil rights leader. It's also happening at the same place where Trump's supporters attacked the Capitol a few years ago. It's a big day with a lot of important people, and it's making some people wonder what's really going on.
