It’s another battle of the billionaires, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos denying a politically charged allegation shared by tech executive Elon Musk.
Overnight, Musk posted to his social media platform, X, about hearing that Bezos had been telling people that President-elect Donald Trump would lose the 2024 election.
“Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that [Trump] would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock,” Musk said.
Musk, who endorsed Trump on the campaign trail and is now slated to help lead the president-elect’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), owns Tesla and SpaceX.
Bezos shot back in reply on Thursday morning, saying, “Nope. 100% not true.”
