The Washington Post reports:
President-elect Donald Trump had dinner Wednesday with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (who owns The Washington Post) at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, and the two were joined by billionaire Elon Musk, a Trump transition team spokesperson confirmed.The meeting marks the latest trek by tech executives to Trump’s home in South Florida to appeal to the incoming administration, including Silicon Valley titans who spurned Trump in his last term.
During his first term as president, Trump complained bitterly about Bezos to his advisers and sought to punish Bezos’s companies out of anger about Post journalism. Trump accused Amazon of swindling the USPS, tried to get the government to cancel subscriptions to The Post and accused Amazon of not paying enough taxes. Last month, Musk accused Bezos of telling people that Trump would lose and to sell stocks of Musk’s companies, Tesla and SpaceX.
