Jeff Bezos Makes Large Donation in Hawaii

Amazon’s founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos has made a sizable donation this week.

The billionaire has donated to the Maui Food Bank in Hawaii while being spotted there with his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez and Hollywood producer Shep Gordon.

Bezos was spotted wearing fitted blue jeans and a white T-shirt.

Elon Musk, who made a huge investment into Twitter this week, seemingly dissed the Washington Post after the outlet published a business analysis titled, “Elon Musk’s Twitter Investment Could
Be Bad News for Free Speech.”

Bezos owns the Washington Post since 2013.

“Ouch, I just snorted coffee out of my nose,” tech entrepreneur Marc Andreessen wrote on Twitter.

“WaPo always good for a laugh,” Musk responded to the post.

The Tesla CEO purchased a 9.2% stake in Twitter Inc. according to a Monday filing to the SEC.

Twitter’s shares jumped more than 25% following Monday’s news and Musk now controls nearly 73.5 million shares of the company, making him the largest shareholder.

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal led the way in announcing Musk’s appointment, saying that “he’s both a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need on @Twitter, and in the boardroom, to make us stronger in the long-term.”

Independent Twitter board chair and Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor followed, writing, “We are all excited to work with you and build the future of Twitter together.”

Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey also tweeted, “I’m really happy Elon is joining the Twitter board! He cares deeply about our world and Twitter’s role in it. Parag and Elon both lead with their hearts, and they will be an incredible team.”
