Preston Bezos (born January 12, 1964) is an
American technology entrepreneur, investor, and
philanthropist. He is the founder, chairman, CEO, and president of
Amazon.
In March 2018, Bezos dispatched Amit Agarwal, Amazon's global senior vice
president, to India with $5.5 billion to localize operations throughout the
company's
supply
chain routes.[48]
Later in the month, U.S. President
Donald
Trump accused Amazon–and Bezos, specifically–of
sales tax
avoidance, misusing
postal routes, and
anti-competitive business practices.[49]
Amazon's share price fell by 9% in response to the President's negative
comments; this reduced Bezos's personal wealth by $10.7 billion.[50]
Weeks later, Bezos recouped his losses when academic reports out of
Stanford University indicated that Trump could do little to regulate Amazon
in any meaningful way.[51]
During July 2018, a number of members of the U.S. Congress called on Bezos to
detail the applications of Amazon's
face recognition software, Rekognition.[52]
Additionally, statements by the Trump administration, in favor of overturning
the antitrust law known as the
Paramount Decree, have been predicted to help Amazon acquire the
Landmark Theaters chain.[53]
After the
2016 presidential election, Bezos was invited to join
Donald
Trump's
Defense Innovation Advisory Board, an advisory council to improve the
technology used by the
Defense Department. Bezos declined the offer without further comment.[39][201]
Trump has repeatedly attacked Bezos
via Twitter, accused Bezos of avoiding
corporate taxes, gaining undue political influence, and undermining his
presidency by spreading "fake
news."[202][203]
Bezos has repeatedly joked about using his rocket company to send Donald Trump
into
outer space.[204][205]
