Executives of Blue Origin briefly met with Trump within hours after paper spiked endorsement of Harris
The multi-billionaire owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, continued facing criticism throughout the weekend because executives from his aerospace company met with Donald Trump on the same day the newspaper prevented its editorial team from publishing an endorsement of his opponent in the US presidential election.
Senior news and opinion leaders at the Washington Post flew to Miami in late September 2024 to meet with Bezos, who had reservations about the paper issuing an endorsement in the 5 November election, the New York Times reported.
Amazon and the space exploration company Blue Origin are among Bezos-owned business that still compete for lucrative federal government contracts.
And the Post on Friday announced it would not endorse a candidate in the 5 November election after its editorial board had already drafted its endorsement of Kamala Harris.
The thing is here Bezos isn’t afraid of Trump because of retribution.
He is afraid he won’t be able to corrupt him if he pisses him off
How the fuck is there someone that has to worry about whether they can make Trump more corrupt? Billionaires existing is a sign of a failed society.
