[Added a footnote re: the only other plausible explanation for Bezos deciding, two weeks out from Election Day, to block a Washington Post endorsement of Harris.]

@daringfireball You know who else seemed reasonable until we started to get an unlimited stream of his unfiltered thoughts live on social media?

@daringfireball you don’t buy that he wants Trump to win because he’s “against climate change”? So is Musk, technically. But they’re both billionaires leeching off the government first and foremost, and they both know Trump is easy to flatter. He 1000% wants Trump’s anti-trust policies over Harris’.

@daringfireball why is this footnote an asterisk and not a number? Is there some meaningful difference?

@daringfireball They’re scared of retribution. They know if Trump comes back it’ll be bad and sucking up to Trump now is the right thing to do. If he gets in you got a head start if the Dems win no harm, no foul.
