Along with the former presidents, family members, and US officials you’d expect to see at Donald Trump’s inauguration, there have also been plenty of familiar faces for unusual reasons.
We’ve spotted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman taking selfies with action brothers Logan and Jake Paul, and controversial Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor chatting with British politician Nigel Farage.
In addition, tech billionaires such as Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and FIFA president Gianni Infantino have also attended.
We will continue to see notable and unusual names in the crowd as the days go by.
Trump’s close and controversial friendship with X owner Elon Musk is well-known, but Musk isn’t the only tech leader at Monday’s inauguration.
Mark Zuckerberg, who earlier this month announced that Meta would remove factcheckers and “significantly reduce the amount of censorship” on its platforms, is also in attendance.
Another tech billionaire in attendance was Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, posing for a group selfie with boxer and influencer Jake Paul and Paul’s brother, fighter and influencer Logan.
McGregor, along with UK political party leader Nigel Farage, appeared at a Trump rally on Sunday night.
Rupert Murdoch, chairman emeritus of News Corporation, which owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the Sun and the Times, will be accompanied by his fifth wife Elena Zhukova.
Mr Murdoch, 93, married the retired Russian biologist last year in a ceremony at his California vineyard.
As is customary with presidential inaugurations, many former US presidents are in attendance.
Much has been made in the media of Michelle Obama, who attended Trump’s first inauguration in 2017, not accompanying her husband Barack to Monday’s ceremony.
Along with Obama, who was in power before the start of Trump’s last term, are former presidents including Bill Clinton and George W Bush.
Another familiar face is former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
When Johnson came to power in 2019, Trump described him as a “good man”, adding: “They call him Britain’s Trump”.
