Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are not getting along again. They have a long fight. Elon Musk, who owns X, said Bezos told friends to sell their Tesla stock. This was because he thought Donald Trump would lose the election.
Elon wrote about this on X. He said he heard Bezos was saying to sell Tesla and SpaceX stock. Bezos quickly said, “No, that is not true.”
Elon answered, “Okay, I was wrong,” with a laughing face emoji. The election results affect businesses, especially for Musk, who gave a lot of money to Trump’s campaign. Their friendship seems to be growing, as Musk was even in Trump’s family photo on election night.
While Trump used to not like electric cars, he changed his mind after Musk supported him. He said, “I have to like electric cars because Elon likes me.” Trump also told people that Tesla cars are great.
