President-elect Donald Trump had dinner Wednesday with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (who owns The Washington Post) at Trumps Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, and the two were joined by billionaire Elon Musk, a Trump transition team spokesperson confirmed.
The meeting marks the latest trek by tech executives to Trumps home in South Florida to appeal to the incoming administration, including Silicon Valley titans who spurned Trump in his last term. Musk has been a frequent presence at Trumps side, advising the president-elect on federal spending and tech policies.

Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has become the latest billionaire to meet Donald Trump at his Florida resort.
He was seen entering Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday night on his way to dinner with the president-elect, in video posted on social media.
The business magnate has pledged $1m (£780,000) to Trump's inauguration fund, one of a number of donations pledged by tech bosses.
Mr Bezos also has large business interests with the US government through several of his companies, including Amazon's cloud computing division and Blue Origin, his space exploration company.

(97 posts)The thing is; if this piece of s*** hadn't stolen the presidency - neither Bezos nor Musk would ever have anything to do with the orange pusbag. He's too stupid to get that. He wouldn't even be an afterthough in their minds. His existance wouldn't even be acknowledged other than, "Who's that orange goof over in the corner there?"
