President-elect Donald Trump is keeping the Mar-a-Lago dining room busy with a steady stream of dinner dates.
Business Insider reports that last night the former CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, broke bread with Trump and that Elon Musk also joined their meal.
Bezos, owner of Washington Postonce had what could be described as a frosty relationship with Trump, due to what some considered negative coverage from the paper during the president's first term. Bezos very publicly pulled one Washington Post endorsing Kamala Harris during the 2024 election and recently said it was “very optimistic” about Trump's second term at a New York Times briefing.
Details of what was discussed during the dinner have not been made public, but Musk wrote on X that it was “a great conversation.”
