Seth Meyers recaps the tech billionaire VIP-ness of Trump’s inauguration

Like fellow late night hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers recapped Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, especially pausing for a moment to stare directly into the lineup of tech billionaires in attendance.

Meyers showed an image of the Silicon Valley heavyweights on the guest list — Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet Inc and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos. Meyers then pointed out the fact that cold temperatures had moved Trump’s ceremony indoors to the Capitol rotunda, where Trump supporters weren’t able to physically attend — instead opting to stand in the freezing cold and trying for a spot at the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington.

“That’s right, MAGA supporters were left out in the cold while Trump gave toasty indoor VIP seats to the wealthy tech oligarchs, which brings us to a segment called ‘Do I Really Have to Explain the Metaphor Here?’” said Meyers.
