Washington Post owner, and billionaire Jeff Bezos published an Op-ed about how there’s a no quid pro quo for him blocking the WaPo Editorial Board from endorsing Kamala Harris for U.S. President in 2024.

The first thing all the critics point out is that the timing was terrible in that we’re just over a week out from the election.

I wish we had made the change earlier than we did, in a moment further from the election and the emotions around it. That was inadequate planning, and not some intentional strategy.

Timing was "poor"? Bezos is a very perceptive guy. I am not naive enough to think he would not understand how this would cast his business in a very negative light.

The next incredibly suspicious thing is that the CEO of Jeff’s rocket company, who has NASA contracts, met with Trump on the day of the (non?) announcement…

Dave Limp, the chief executive of one of my companies, Blue Origin, met with (…) Trump on the day of our announcement. I sighed when I found out (…) But the fact is, I didn’t know about the meeting beforehand. Even Limp didn’t know about it in advance; the meeting was scheduled quickly that morning.

Didn't know his rocket company was meeting with Trump? Would you meet with one of the world’s biggest lightning rods, who might soon have sway over millions or hundreds of millions in government contracts with your business without telling your company’s owner? Especially when your boss owns the Washington Post? I’d fire an employee if he met with Trump without telling me.

Come to think of it, I’d probably fire someone who lead to the loss of 200,000 subscribers over the course of a single weekend.

Can you fire yourself? Asking for a billionaire.
