Thu Nov 21 08:57:28 UTC 2024: ## Musk Accuses Bezos of Urging Tesla, SpaceX Stock Sell-Off Before Trump Victory

**Palm Beach, FL -** Elon Musk, incoming co-chair of the proposed Department of Government Efficiency and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has leveled a serious accusation against Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Musk claims Bezos advised people to divest from Tesla and SpaceX stock before the recent US presidential election, predicting a loss for Donald Trump.

In a tweet posted on X, Musk stated he learned of Bezos’s alleged actions at Mar-a-Lago. “Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock,” Musk wrote.

Bezos has yet to respond publicly to Musk’s claim. This accusation comes in stark contrast to Bezos’s congratulatory message to President Trump following his election win, posted on X shortly after the results were announced. Bezos’s message wished Trump success in leading the country.

The timing of Musk’s accusation is notable, following recent controversy surrounding Bezos’s decision to halt presidential endorsements at The Washington Post. Bezos defended this move, arguing that such endorsements create a perception of bias and don’t influence election outcomes.

The implications of Musk’s allegation remain unclear. Financial markets could react significantly to the accusations, depending on whether evidence emerges to support Musk’s claim. The conflict between the two tech titans adds another layer of intrigue to the already complex political landscape.
