US oligarchs such as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Apple CEO Tim Cook were all seen sitting behind Donald Trump’s family in church Monday morning, a few hours before the upcoming that the president will be inaugurated. And it’s a good reminder that the US is about to enter a scary new era that begins when Trump is sworn in as the 47th president at noon ET.

Trump attended St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington DC on Monday, a tradition followed by past presidents such as Barack Obama and George W. Bush. But those presidents have no business leaders who will benefit from the incoming administration filling the banks.

Photographer Anna Moneymaker took pictures from inside the church, and it’s a who’s who of the richest, most powerful people in the tech world, including men like Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Cook, as well Google CEO Sundar Pichai and podcaster Joe Rogan.

The Big Tech Mafia mostly seems to be sitting in a row, while Bezos’ partner Lauren Sánchez is also in a row near former British prime minister Boris Johnson, according to Washington Post.

A notable absence from the church was Elon Musk, at least based on the photos the photographer took at the pool. Musk and other Big Tech CEOs all have large contracts with the US government through their respective companies and stand to profit from being close to Trump. Thirteen billionaires are set to take on formal roles in the Trump White House.

CNBC commentators defend the presence of oligarchs in the church. Chris Sununu, former governor of New Hampshire, was asked about the presence of business leaders and he seemed excited at the sight on Monday, saying that “it’s not bureaucrats” who are in the seats. The suggestion, of course, is that CEOs can be better at running the country.

Podcaster Joe Rogan was also at the church near the future president, capturing a photo that gave Trump a rare look. Rupert Murdoch, the 93-year-old media mogul who owns dozens of conservative media outlets around the world, was also spotted. Trump sat in the church next to incoming vice president JD Vance and his wife, future Second Lady Usha Vance. Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner sat in the row behind the president.

Trump has promised to issue a flurry of executive actions once he takes office, including pardons for the insurrectionists who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. But there are conflicting reports on whether will Trump pardon the most brutal coup plots.

President Joe Biden issued his own preemptive apology early Monday for figures like Gen. Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the people Trump has suggested he will target for revenge when he takes office. In fact, Trump previously suggested that Milley should be executed for treason. So Americans will soon find out if the pardons are worth the paper they’re written on.

Trump also launched his own cryptocurrency on Friday, arguably one of the riskiest actions he could take before formally entering the White House, given the ability to transfer wealth from the masses to the personal. Trump. Crypto is also at risk of destroying the world economy as people all over the world are betting that anything related to the most powerful man in the world is a safe bet.

The $TRUMP coin quickly became one of the most traded coins of the weekend, accounting for nearly 90% of Trump’s net worth, according to Axios. A full 80% of the coins are owned by CIC Digital LLC, a company affiliated with the Trump Organization, and Fight Fight Fight LLC, which is also owned by Trump’s company, according to USA Today. In the past, basta was illegal print your own money.

If you are an American, things are about to change in this country. And all we can do is try to protect the vulnerable in our communities as best we can while Trump and his goons loot the country.
