Jeff Bezos may have wanted his newspaper to stay out of politics when he killed a Washington Post endorsement for Kamala Harris … but he sure opened his wallet fast for President-elect Donald Trump.
Here’s the deal … Amazon and Meta have each pledged $1 million to Donald Trump‘s inauguration fund — giving the impression they are kissing up to DT after a wishy-washy election season of support.
Trump has scorched both mega tech companies in the past for, among other things, not fawning over him enough during his campaign … but it appears JB and Mark Zuckerberg are trying to make it right on Day 1 of the incoming administration.
Both the tech billionaires congratulated Trump on his decisive victory via social media shortly after he defeated Harris last month … a win that shocked a portion of the globe.
While both huge donations have some rolling their eyes as brown-nosing … Bezos has been more harshly criticized, since he admitted to personally killing the Post’s KH endorsement just before the election … which resulted in a partial staff revolt and a significant loss of subscriptions.
Seems both tech leaders are wise to the quickest way to Trump’s heart — through his bank account.
Please, sir … would you like some more?
