Bezos also owns The Washington Post and Space Company Blue Origin. Despite his discord with Trump and being the target of criticism many times during Trump's first term, Bezos has recently had a relaxed tone.
In July of this year, he praised Trump's courage in facing assassination threats at a rally in Pennsylvania. Both of Bezos's posts on the X platform this year mentioned Trump.
On the eve of election day, the “Washington Post” announced that it did not support a presidential candidate for the first time in decades. Bezos later explained the decision in a column in the newspaper, saying that favoritism may lead to “prejudice.”
Andy Jassi, who succeeded Bezos as Amazon CEO in 2021, also congratulated Trump. He wrote on the X platform: “Congratulations to President @realDonaldTrump赢得来之不易的胜利. We look forward to working with you and your government on critical issues relating to customers, employees, communities, and countries.”

Intel
CEO Pat Kissinger congratulated Trump in a statement and said he looks forward to cooperating with the new administration to enhance America's leading position in global technology and manufacturing.
Currently, Intel is in the restructuring phase to regain its leading position in global chip manufacturing. Trump's election means a lot to chipmakers like Intel, as the Republican Party could repeal the Biden-Harris administration's “Chip and Science Act” — a bipartisan legislation designed to boost US chip production.
Cisco
Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins said on the X platform that the company looks forward to cooperating with the Trump administration and Congress on topics such as “connectivity, innovation, and cybersecurity.”
Dell Technology
Michael Dell, CEO and Chairman of Dell Technology Group, also expressed congratulations on the X platform.
