Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos publicly congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his election victory, praising his "extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory." In a rare post on X (formerly Twitter) shared on Wednesday morning, Bezos extended his well wishes to Trump, stating, "Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing Donald Trump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love." His remarks come after speculation about his political affiliations and reports that he influenced The Washington Post not to endorse Kamala Harris, sparking a staff boycott.
