Elon Musk took a shot at Jeff Bezos, calling him out for supposedly predicting — wrongly, we might add — that Donald Trump would lose the presidential election to Kamala Harris.
On Wednesday night time, Musk hopped on his social media platform, X, writing, “Simply discovered tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everybody that @realDonaldTrump would lose for certain, so they need to promote all their Tesla and SpaceX inventory.”
Clearly, Musk was referring to the inventory worth of his corporations, Tesla and SpaceX, plunging if Trump had misplaced to Harris, however, after all, that did not occur. Trump walloped Harris within the election and now he is about to take the reins once more on the White Home for his second time period.
As you might know … Bezos confronted backlash after he prevented his newspaper, The Washington Put up, from endorsing one of many two presidential candidates — bucking a well-established custom at WaPo and different newspapers throughout the nation — lower than 2 weeks earlier than the election.
Bezos defended his place by publishing a column in The Put up, explaining that he determined to drag the plug on presidential endorsements due to the eroding public belief in legacy media.
The billionaire Amazon CEO was rapidly criticized for his view, resulting in resignations by some members of his newsroom and tons of of hundreds of subscription cancellations.
In keeping with media experiences, The Put up was about to endorse Harris, however that was in the end halted by Bezos.
We have reached out to Bezos for remark … thus far no phrase again.
