Tesla CEO Elon Musk alleged that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos advised selling Tesla and SpaceX stocks, believing Donald Trump would lose the November 5 presidential elections. Musk revealed the claim via a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that Donald Trump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stocks.”
Bezos and The Washington Post Controversy
Bezos faced backlash for his role as owner of The Washington Post, which broke tradition by not endorsing any presidential candidate. Citing declining trust in media, Bezos defended the move in a column. Reports suggest the paper initially planned to endorse Kamala Harris but pulled the article, sparking resignations and public criticism.
Trump’s Political Comeback
Trump’s return to the White House marks a historic comeback after winning all seven swing states, securing his ‘America-First’ agenda. His victory ended Kamala Harris’ bid to become the first female president.
Introducing DOGE: A New Efficiency Initiative
As Trump prepares for his January 20 inauguration, he announced the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Elon Musk and Indian-American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will co-lead the department.
The initiative aims to streamline governance by eliminating redundancies, cutting unnecessary policies, and optimizing resources. Trump stated the department would bring “entrepreneurial” insights to government operations, emphasizing efficiency and modernization.
