Jeff Bezos is really making the rounds in May. On the heels of his appearance at the Bezos-sponsored Met Gala, the fourth-richest man in the world went on CNBC on Wednesday to talk about, well, a lot. In an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin, the Amazon and Blue Origin founder waded into a number of topics, from mass layoffs at the Washington Post to the Melania documentary, while also taking the opportunity to signal to the American public — concerned about AI, inflation, and President Trump — that everything is actually pretty good, even if you don’t have $267.3 billion tucked away like he does.
