Several prominent individuals have confirmed their attendance at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, which includes Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk and Grammy-winning artist Carrie Underwood.

The inauguration will take place in Washington, D.C., where Trump will officially take the oath of office inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. Due to a forecast of extremely cold temperatures, the inauguration ceremonies were moved indoors, as announced by Trump on Friday.

“The weather in Washington, D.C., combined with the wind chill, could bring about dangerously low temperatures. An Arctic blast is affecting the entire country. I want to ensure everyone stays safe,” Trump remarked.

“It poses risks for the tens of thousands of law enforcement officers, first responders, police dogs, and even horses, as well as the hundreds of thousands of supporters who will be outside for hours on the 20th. If you choose to come, please dress warmly!” he added.

While it’s uncertain how this indoor change may influence attendance, many high-profile guests have confirmed their participation. Here’s a list of prominent individuals expected to be present and those who have opted out.

Alongside Underwood, who will perform “America the Beautiful,” other confirmed celebrities include:

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro shared on X that his lawyer is “processing my request to retrieve my passport so I can participate in this historic occasion.”

Bolsonaro, often termed the “Trump of the Tropics,” was indicted for attempting a coup in 2022 to retain power following his election loss.

Other former or current foreign leaders possibly attending include:

• A delegation representing President of China Xi Jinping
• President of Argentina Javier Milei, as reported by Bloomberg
• Prime Minister Viktor Orban from Hungary, who is “still contemplating” attending, per Forbes

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is anticipated to attend the inauguration following the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a law banning the platform in the U.S., according to insiders familiar with the event’s arrangements.

The Wall Street Journal reports that alongside Chew, various tech leaders are expected, including:

• Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX
• Jeff Bezos, Executive Chairman of Amazon.com
• Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has declared that she will not be attending the inauguration. However, former President Barack Obama is expected to be there.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will also be absent, according to her spokesperson communicating with YSL News. Other Democrats expected to skip include Rep. Jasmine Crockett from Texas and Rep. Ayanna Pressley from Massachusetts.
