Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos will reportedly attend Trump's tech summit
Amazon.com Inc. founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has accepted President-elect Donald Trump's invitation to a meeting of technology executives in New York Wednesday, Yahoo reports.
Seattle-based Amazon (NYSE: AMZN) couldn't be reached to confirm Bezos' plans, but it could make for an interesting face-off given the long-simmering beef between the two men.
Bezos proposed sending Trump to space(jokingly, one might assume) a year ago after the then-candidate accused Bezos of using his ownership in the Washington Post to avoid paying taxes, well before the real estate executive admitted he legally avoided paying federal taxes after reporting a $916 million business-related loss in 1995.

The Trump campaign also revoked the press credentials of Bezos' Washington Post, which reported aggressively on Trump's exaggerated philanthropy, self-dealing by Trump in the nonprofit foundation he ran and the ongoing scandal over Russian interference benefiting Trump in the election.

Wonder if the Trumpenfuhrer will simply use the meeting to heap verbal abuse on everyone once again.
