Billions of People in the Palm of Trump's Hand

The Atlantic - Technology 

Among all the images of people cozying up to President Donald Trump at today's inauguration, one in particular will be worth remembering over the next four years. During the ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda, you could see some of the most powerful men on the planet positioned immediately behind members of the Trump family on the dais. There's Tiffany, there's Eric, there are Ivanka and Don Jr., and then, smiling and clapping right alongside the family, there are the tech titans: Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sundar Pichai, Elon Musk, and Tim Cook. In visual proximity, they're as close to honorary Trumps as anyone could be. The power that each of these men represents may be rivaled by only the presidency itself.
