Jeff Bezos sits down with Andrew Ross Sorkin for an extended interview at the Blue Origin Rocket Park in Florida. In a wide-ranging conversation, the world’s fourth-richest person discusses America’s wealthiest class, U.S. tax policy, philanthropy, working with President Trump, and our country’s future. Bezos predicts AI-prompted deflation and an AI-prompted job shortage, and he doubles down on the concept of data centers in space. Plus, as owner of The Washington Post, Bezos comments on that newsroom’s mass layoffs and the current state of journalism.
