TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend president-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20 — one day after his app is set to be banned from the U.S., according to multiple reports. The New York Times was the first outlet to report the news late Wednesday night.
Chew will join a number of other major tech execs at the inauguration, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, X and Tesla boss Elon Musk, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The 43-year-old Chew will have a prominent spot sitting on the dais while Trump is sworn in, just like the other tech CEOs, the Times reported.
