It is one tech uber-billionaire’s word against another.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Thursday pushed back on Elon Musk’s claim he anticipated Donald Trump would lose the election and that his investors should sell their stock in SpaceX and Tesla, two of the companies he runs.

“Nope. 100% not true,” Bezos posted on X, in response to Musk’s late Wednesday post.

Musk said he’d “learned” Bezos was “telling everyone” to sell their shares and that Trump would lose to the presidential race to Kamala Harris. That, of course, turned out to not be the case, with Trump winning the electoral college 312 to 226 earlier this month.
