Bezos moves in as Musk gets booted from Trump’s orbit

Jeff Bezos has appeared as the heir apparent to President Donald Trump's good favor after Elon Musk's departure from the White House, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

Trump and Bezos have spoken directly at least twice this month, and a representative from Bezos' space exploration company, Blue Origin, met with a White House official to meet with Trump's Chief of Staff, the Journal noted. This comes as Blue Origin seeks to overtake rival SpaceX in the private space industry by becoming a dominant contractor with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The Journal noted that Musk's falling out with Trump opened an opportunity for Bezos.

Musk was one of Trump's presidential campaign megadonors, spending over $280 million to help him get elected. In turn, Musk was given unprecedented access to the West Wing. He was also allowed to run the Department of Government Efficiency, which sought to find waste, fraud, and abuse in the government's coffers.
