The world\u2019s two richest men are longtime business rivals, but now one of them has the ear of the next president of the United States.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, a three-post exchange between Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk on Mr. Musk\u2019s X would have passed for petty sniping between billionaire rivals.<\/p>\n

But times have changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock,\u201d Mr. Musk wrote Wednesday night, referring to two of his companies. He added an emoji for a snickering face, with a hand covering the mouth.<\/p>\n

\u201cNope. 100% not true,\u201d Mr. Bezos responded on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, then, I stand corrected,\u201d Mr. Musk wrote back, with a laughing-crying emoji.<\/p>\n

With President-elect Donald J. Trump’s history of animosity toward Mr. Bezos, the posts carried an unspoken message about Mr. Musk\u2019s growing power within the incoming administration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The exchange \u2014 brief, brassy and fairly typical of Mr. Musk\u2019s overwhelming presence on X \u2014 could foreshadow a bumpy next few years for Mr. Bezos and the companies he started, Amazon and the rocket maker Blue Origin. It was also a reminder that the power dynamics in the longtime rivalry between the world\u2019s two richest men<\/a> changed on Nov. 5.<\/p>\n

Plenty of tech executives have drawn Mr. Trump\u2019s wrath over the last few years. Perhaps none more than Mr. Bezos, largely because he owns The Washington Post, which has frequently written critically about Mr. Trump. (The Post did not endorse a presidential candidate this year, a decision that angered many of its readers and that Mr. Bezos publicly defended.)<\/p>\n
