Biden warns of a looming plutocracy – but big tech’s volte-face could power an economic leap forward.

When Donald Trump takes the oath at his inauguration on Monday, standing alongside him in an ostentatious display of support will be not just the usual roster of political hangers-on, but a star-studded array of tech oligarchs, business leaders and financiers that includes the three richest men in the world – Tesla’s Elon Musk, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg.

It’ll be quite a spectacle, and one in marked contrast to Trump’s first presidency, when he was widely cold-shouldered. There is, of course, nothing unusual about business attempting to cosy up to an incoming president in the hope of influence, favours and contracts.
