Jeff Bezos seems to be trying to patch up his feud with Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
The former Amazon CEO was pictured at Mar-a-Lago with fiancé Lauren Sánchez on Wednesday night in images circulating on social media, as he joined the president-elect for dinner.
Trump had previously told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he and Bezos were planning to have dinner.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk was also in attendance, confirming that the meeting had taken place in a post on X, describing it as a "great conversation."
Bezos, who also owns rocket company and SpaceX rival Blue Origin, is the latest tech figure to try to make nice with Trump in recent weeks.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google boss Sundar Pichai have both met with Trump at his Florida resort in recent weeks. Meta, Amazon, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have all donated $1 million to the incoming president's inauguration fund.
Bezos has had a rocky relationship in the past with both Trump and Musk.
The Washington Post owner clashed with Trump in his first term over his newspaper's coverage of his presidency.
However, Bezos praised Trump following an assassination attempt in July and said he was "very optimistic" about a second Trump term at the NYT's Dealbook conference earlier this month.
Bezos has also previously sparred with Musk, who is set to play an active role in the Trump administration after donating over $200 million to pro-Republican campaign groups during the election.
Musk wrote in a post on X last month that Bezos had told people they should sell Tesla and SpaceX stock because Donald Trump would lose the election, which the Amazon founder denied as "100% not true."
Blue Origin competes with SpaceX for lucrative NASA and federal contracts. In the leadup to the election, the billionaire came under fire over The Washington Post's failure to endorse a candidate, with multiple reports suggesting Bezos made the decision to do so.
Amazon and Elon Musk did not respond to requests for comment, sent outside normal working hours.
