The people in the top three spots on Forbes' billionaire list—Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg—will have prime seats at President-elect Trump's inauguration next week. NBC News, citing "an official involved with the planning of the event," reports that the three tech billionaires will be sitting together on the platform with other high-profile guests, including Trump's Cabinet nominees. Bezos and Zuckerberg's companies, Amazon and Meta, have each donated $1 million to the inauguration, while Musk spent more than $250 million to help Trump win the election, reports Reuters.

The MBZ trio, rivals in the tech industry, have "a significant amount at stake in Trump's second term," including Meta's upcoming antitrust trial, reports NBC News. Amazon and Musk's SpaceX are both major federal contractors. According to Forbes, Musk's net worth is $424.7 billion, slightly more than that of Bezos and Zuckerberg combined.
