Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos said Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is "eroding our democracy around the edges" by threatening retribution against those critical of him and hinting that he wouldn’t gracefully accept a loss on election day.
Speaking at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit in San Francisco on Thursday, Bezos said he mistakenly took Trump’s candidacy lightly late last year when he sent a tweet that joked about sending Trump to space. The two have been feuding on Twitter since last December.
