- Jeff Bezos defended Amazon 's investment in the documentary movie "Melania," which received overwhelmingly negative reviews, insisting it was a "good business decision" for the company.
- Bezos denied personal involvement in the movie's production, stating he "had nothing to do with that" and attributed the decision to the Amazon team, despite the film 's 10% Rotten Tomatoes score.
- The film, which cost $40 million to produce and $35 million to market, generated only $16 million globally, yet Bezos claimed it "did very well in theaters" and on streaming platforms.
- Bezos praised Donald Trump, describing him as "a more mature, more disciplined version of himself" and emphasized the importance of business leaders providing input to any administration.
- The Amazon founder also commented on taxation, arguing that increasing his already "billions of dollars" in taxes would not solve societal problems, such as helping a teacher in Queens.
