Jeff Bezos Quick to Congratulate Trump

Jeff Bezos moved quickly to congratulate the former president, now elected to be the next president. In an unctuous post on Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), Bezos fawned,

Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.

He’s hoping this will erase any doubt of his loyalty to the new administration. It’s a stronger signal than killing The Washington Posts’s endorsement of Kamela Harris, which he tried to justify as principled.

Perhaps a prudent business move, yet it reeks of unscrupulous opportunism.
