Jeff Bezos is the second wealthiest person in the world behind Elon Musk , who has become prominent supporter of a second presidency.

Bezos-owned Amazon and the space exploration company Blue Origin are among Bezos businesses that still compete for lucrative federal government contracts.

The Washington Post on Friday announced it would not endorse a candidate in the 5 November election after its editorial board had already drafted its endorsement of Kamala Harris .

But within hours , Blue Origin executives briefly met with Trump after a campaign speech in Austin , Texas .

Employees and devotees of the paper were worried that Lewis was brought on to the Post despite allegations that he “fraudulently obtained phone and company records in newspaper articles” as a journalist in London , as the New York Times reported. Nonetheless, in a memo to newsroom leaders in June 2024 , Bezos wrote, “The journalistic standards and ethics at the Post will not change.”.
