“100% Not True”: Jeff Bezos Responds To Elon Musk’s Gossipy Claim That He Predicted Trump Loss And Urged Sale Of Tesla And SpaceX Stock


Bezos called it "100% not true."

Musk, CEO of those companies, posted early this morning that he “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 stock.” Bezos also owns The Washington Post, and blocked the publication’s editorial section from endorsing a candidate in the race. He said that the action was necessary to help restore trust in the media, but the non-endorsement sparked a reader backlash, with more than 200,000 cancelling their digital subscriptions in the first few days after the news, per NPR.
