Donald Trump has officially returned to the White House as the 47th President of the United States, with JD Vance serving as his Vice President. The swearing-in ceremony on January 20 attracted billionaires and tech moguls from across industries. Among the notable attendees were Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sundar Pichai, who were standing shoulder to shoulder at the event.
Amidst the grandeur of the inauguration, eagle-eyed social media users noticed an interesting detail: Elon Musk and Sundar Pichai were caught using their phones during the ceremony. The picture has since gone viral, sparking a wave of speculation about what the tech titans might have been looking at.
Fans on social media offered playful theories. Some speculated that they were checking their crypto portfolios, considering Trump’s pro-crypto stance. Others reignited the age-old debate of Google Pixel versus Apple iPhone. A few even joked that Musk might have been busy scrolling through memes during the event.
In the viral photo, Sundar Pichai holds a Google Pixel phone, while Elon Musk appears engrossed in his iPhone. Adding another layer of intrigue, the picture also captures Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, seemingly looking at the two tech titans. One X user humorously captioned the moment: “She’s probably thinking, ‘Can you two please put your phones down for the ceremony?’”
“Congratulations to @POTUS Donald Trump and @VP JD Vance on your inauguration. We look forward to working with you to usher in a new era of technology + AI innovation that will benefit all Americans,” wrote Sundar Pichai on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Elon Musk, never one to shy away from making a statement, shared a screenshot featuring two images: one showing Donald Trump’s suspended Twitter account from 2021 and the other displaying his newly reinstated POTUS (President of the United States) account. Alongside the images, Musk captioned it, “The return of the king.”
