Trump Mocked Zuckerberg and Bezos for Groveling Texts, Book Claims

According to The New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan in the book Regime Change, after the 2024 election Donald Trump mocked Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos for courting him, flaunting their fawning texts to guests. Zuckerberg reportedly sent a photo of a letter from his child praising a “golden age of America,” while Bezos disparaged The Washington Post during a Mar-a-Lago dinner and later pitched a Blue Origin/SpaceX contract angle that Trump did not pursue. The episodes show Silicon Valley’s scramble for favor and Trump’s gleeful ridicule, with Elon Musk reacting approvingly and other tech leaders also meeting with him.
