Amazon’s move shows that Jeff Bezos is annoyed after imposing Donald Trump’s duties and takes clear distances from the Oval Office.
Levit’s response could signal creation rift between Trump and Bezos, who joined the other billionaires and technology leaders approaching the Republican president after his victory in the 2024 elections.
It is indicative that the Amazon donated $ 1 million at the Trump swearing -in fund in December.
It is also noted that Bezos, who is Owner of the Washington Postalso prevented the newspaper from supporting Trump’s democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, before the November elections.
Now it seems that Trump’s games with duties have cost a quite a bit to Jeff Bezos who on the pretext that “Americans need to know” does not hesitate to clash with the US president.
