Amazon founder Jeff Bezos offered up “big congratulations” to Donald Trump for his “extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory” in Tuesday’s election — less than two weeks after he blocked the Washington Post’s editorial board from endorsing his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory,” Bezos, the billionaire who bought the Post more than a decade ago, wrote on his X social media account on Wednesday.

“No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.”

Another tech titan, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, also praised Trump for his “decisive victory.”

“We have great opportunities ahead of us as a country. Looking forward to working with you and your administration,” Zuckerberg wrote on his Threads account on Wednesday.

Apple CEO Tim Cook also chimed in, writing on X: “Congratulations President Trump on your victory!”

“We look forward to engaging with you and your administration to help make sure the United States continues to lead with and be fueled by ingenuity, innovation, and creativity,” Cook wrote on X.

Trump recently praised Cook as a “great executive” because the Apple boss reached out to him directly during his first term in office.

Then-President Trump granted Cook a request to exempt Apple from tariffs that were imposed on Chinese parts that the iPhone maker needed to make its products.

Cook was so appreciative that he gifted Trump a $6,000 Mac Pro computer, according to Bloomberg News.

Another leader of a tech giant, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, credited Trump for his “decisive victory.”

“We are in a golden age of American innovation and are committed to working with his administration to help bring the benefits to everyone,” the Google boss wrote on his X account.

The projections are based on updated vote counts from the seven key battleground states — all of which will likely be captured by the Republican former president once the final votes are officially tallied.

Harris supporters on Wednesday responded to Bezos’ tweet by venting their frustration over his newspaper’s abandonment of its decades-long policy of endorsing a presidential candidate.

“Bezos get the f–k out of here. He can’t unite us. The man behind January 6. You scared sycophant,” wrote on angry X user.

“Thank you for this reminder to cancel my Amazon Prime membership,” another X user commented.

Valentina Gomez, a former Republican candidate for Missouri secretary of state, wrote: “Jeff, you went against the status quo of not making an endorsement towards the democrats. You’re a businessman and a leader not a loser and a follower.”

“You got balls,” Gomez wrote.

Other Trump backers urged Bezos to use the opportunity to reverse the Washington Post’s leftist tilt.

“Well said Jeff. Now put some of your vast amounts of money where your mouth is and go gut the Washington Post and turn that socialist rag into a respectful media outlet once and for all,” one X user wrote.

The Washington Post reportedly lost 250,000 subscribers — or 10% of its regular readership — after Bezos made the decision to block the newspaper’s editorial board from publishing its prepared endorsement of Harris.

Bezos wrote an essay in his newspaper explaining the decision as one of “principle” which was aimed to dispel the notion that the publication was biased.

The Amazon founder also denied that the decision was part of a strategy to curry favor with Trump given the fact that his administration will have regulatory oversight of industries where Bezos has significant financial interests.

Bezos, who is no longer CEO of Amazon but remains its largest shareholder, is also the owner of Blue Origin, a space exploration company that is seeking to win federal contracts to transport American astronauts to and from the moon.

The newspaper’s decision not to endorse prompted the resignations of two of its columnists as well as three of the nine members of the editorial board.

Bezos has reportedly given Washington Post CEO Will Lewis a mandate to broaden the newspaper’s readership by including more conservative voices on its op-ed page.

Hugh Hewitt, the conservative radio talk show host who for years contributed columns to the Washington Post’s op-ed page, abruptly quit the paper after storming out of a live broadcast alongside two of the broadsheet’s liberal writers.
