It seems that Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk will not be the sole tech executives attending President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday. As reported by *The New York Times*, Shou Chew, the CEO of TikTok, is also likely to be in attendance.

This development arises as the Supreme Court deliberates over the future of TikTok in the United States, a ruling that could affect 170 million users. If the court confirms the ban, as other courts have previously done, the app will be officially restricted starting Sunday, January 19.

Details regarding the ban remain vague, but it is clear that TikTok users will not have standard access to the app. While attempting to open TikTok won’t result in immediate issues with your phone, the app will stop working correctly. Major app stores such as Apple and Google, alongside internet hosting providers, could face governmental repercussions if they distribute or update the app. Sources within TikTok told *Reuters* that users in the U.S. will see a pop-up message directing them to a website with information about the ban starting Sunday—unless the Supreme Court intervenes.

The *Times* also noted that Shou Chew’s invitation to the inauguration was extended by the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee, indicating a surprising shift in Trump’s position on TikTok. In 2020, Trump had attempted to impose a ban on the app through an executive order, although that effort ultimately did not succeed. Now, his perspective seems to have evolved. In December, Trump met with TikTok officials at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, and during his campaign, he even proclaimed, “I’m gonna save TikTok.”
