JAKARTA - Elected President Donald Trump will be sworn in on Monday, January 20. A number of high-ranking technology companies are rumored to be present at the inauguration, except for NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
Instead of joining a number of tech companies to welcome Trump's victory, Huang prefers to celebrate Chinese New Year with his family and workers. This news of presence has been confirmed directly by Huang.
Although he did not attend Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony, Huang said he still supported the former president. Huang also plans to take a little time to congratulate Trump.
"(I) look forward to congratulating the Trump administration when they hold positions," Huang said. During the inauguration ceremony, Huang will be in Taipei to attend the NVIDIA New Year's party.
Huang is not the only leader of a technology company that was not present at Trump's inauguration. Of the many technology companies that support Trump, some of the confirmed people who attended were Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, and Jeff Bezos.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is also confirmed to attend. NVIDIA is not included in the list of companies that donated funds for Trump's inauguration. This may be the basis for Huang's decision not to attend the inauguration ceremony.
Companies that are known to provide donations of USD 1 million (IDR 16.3 billion) are Meta, Google, and Microsoft. Sam Altman provides funds in his personal name, not on behalf of OpenAI. Likewise with Tim Cook who does not carry Apple's name.
