BEZOS KISSES THE RING: Amazon’s Billionaire CEO Goes to Mar-a-Lago for a Dinner with President-Elect Trump
Since Donald J. Trump won a historic landslide reelection in on November 5th, his Mar-a-Lago resort has turned into the epicenter for the American political life.
Politicians, foreign leaders, artists and business moguls have flocked to Palm Beach to kiss the ring.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, second richest man in the world, was no exception. He was seen entering Mar-a-Lago yesterday night (18) to have dinner with the President-elect.
Bezos was joined by his fiancée Lauren Sanchez for their first dinner with Trump since he won re-election, an event that Trump announced last week.
New York Post reported:
“The billionaire is just one of the tech executives hoping to get in Trump’s good graces before inauguration. Bezos had informed Trump’s team that he would donate $1 million to his inaugural fund, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Trump’s relationship with Bezos has been rocky over the years but seemed to improve after the tech mogul’s newspaper, the Washington Post, refused to endorse any candidate in the 2024 election, breaking tradition from usually backing Democrats.”
Bezos had revealed earlier this month that he’s ‘optimistic’ about Trump’s second term.
“’I’m actually very optimistic this time around’, Bezos said. ‘He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. If I can help do that, I’m going to help him. We do have too many regulations in this country’, Bezos added.”
Trump also said he feels good about re-establishing ties with business leaders in the runup to his second term.
“’I want to get ideas from them’, Trump said about his relationship with business leaders after ringing the New York Stock Exchange bell last week after being deemed Time magazine’s ‘person of the year’. ‘Look, we want them to do well’.”
Besides DOGE director Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, other tech leaders have also indicated a willingness to collaborate with Trump. Those include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman – who is also planning on making a $1 million donation to the inauguration, and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, who also met with Trump this week.
