The once high-flying Magnificent 7–Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Microsoft–have collectively lost more than $1.5 trillion of their market value since Jan. 20 amid concerns about economic weakness. The leaders of several of those companies, including Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Google (now Alphabet) cofounder Sergey Brin, and Meta’s Zuckerberg, all attended Trump’s inauguration and were given prominent placement among the attendees at the Capitol.
