8. He doesn't need kompromat on Bezos

Bezos wants orbital launch contracts and the government is the largest source of those. Look at all the complaining TSF did in his first term about the "unfair" contracts that Amazon had with USPS. Bezos bent the knee to keep the USPS contracts alive and to keep from being shut out of the launch contracts. That's why he is willing to lose a few million at WaPo to keep the billions in govt. money. It's all a straight up mafia style "protection" racket. "Say that's a nice launch business you have there. It would be a shame if the govt contracts dried up."
