Billionaire Jeff Bezos appears to have a major conflict of interest on his hands with a newspaper he owns trying to get records from another<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/04/20675447/5-things-you-might-not-know-about-jeff-bezos"> company he founded.</a>
What Happened: While he's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/07/21849808/jeff-bezos-is-officially-no-longer-the-amazon-ceo">no longer the CEO</a> of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Bezos remains a shareholder and the executive chairman of the company.
This means that a lawsuit filed by Amazon against the Washington Post, which Bezos owns, now has the billionaire on both sides of the legal fight.
The Washington Post is trying to obtain records related to Amazon's Project Kuiper satellite business, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/jeff-bezos-amazon-sues-block-records-requests-washington-post-1236121933/">according </a>to The Hollywood Reporter.
Amazon is fighting back and has sued to block the records request as the e-commerce company states releasing the information could be harmful as it contains trade secrets.
The report says items requested by the news outlet include inspection records, investigation notes and complaints related to visits to the company by the Washington Department of Labor and Industries.
Amazon says the records contain proprietary satellite designs and other information that could give competitors "a competitive edge."
Amazon has not sued the newspaper directly, instead filing a lawsuit against a Washington state agency that agreed to disclose the records. The company is not seeking to block the release of all of the requested records, only a small portion that it believes contains trade secrets.
You may not be a billionaire like Jeff Bezos, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/01/43201590/benzinga-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-2">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: The news of the battle by The Washington Post against Amazon comes as the newspaper faces public pushback after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41557083/jeff-bezos-ends-washington-posts-36-year-tradition-of-endorsements-leaving-staff-roiled">not endorsing a candidate </a>for president for the first time since 1988.
The decision was said to have been made by Bezos, who bought the newspaper in 2013. The move led to the exit of several newspaper workers and saw around 250,000 subscribers cancel their subscriptions as a result.
The battle between The Washington Post and Amazon and the outcome could become a storyline for Bezos and whether or not billionaires should own news outlets.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has turned increasingly political in recent years, a move that may have hurt the brand value of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43172806/tesla-lost-15-billion-in-brand-value-in-2024-report-says-did-elon-musks-political-push-hurt-ev-giant">electric vehicle company.</a>
While Musk is OK with supporting President Donald Trump and the end of the $7,500 federal tax credit, the billionaire also has his eyes set on a sustainable future.
What Happened: A proposed end to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/01/43116755/trumps-plan-to-end-7500-ev-tax-credits-could-be-devastating-for-telsa-rivals-poll-says-could-be-bullish-for-elon-musks-company">$7,500 EV tax credit </a>by Trump is one of the biggest storylines for the electric vehicle sector and Musk is a supporter of making such a change.
Musk and Tesla analysts believe the decision to end the credit would be bad for Tesla in the short term, but ultimately benefit the company in the long term as it would be tougher on competitors.
The Tesla CEO was asked about electric vehicle policies under Trump during the company's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43321103/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-ev-updates-automaker-says-2025-will-be-a-seminal-year"> fourth-quarter earnings call.</a>
An analyst asked about plans to reverse the "EV mandate" and potential slowdowns of electric vehicle demand in the U.S. due to regulations.
Musk shied away from the question but did highlight his continued belief on electric vehicles being a big part of the future.
"At this point, I think that sustainable transport is inevitable," Musk said, as shared by <a href="https://insideevs.com/news/749018/musk-q4-call-ev-regulations/">InsideEVs</a>. "I'm highly confident that all transport will be autonomous, electric, including aircraft, and that simply, it can't be stopped."
Musk went on to compare the rise of electric vehicles to the introduction of the internal combustion engine.
"Even if you've been the biggest horse advocate on Earth … like, ‘horses are the way, not these new-fangled automobiles,' you can't stop the advent of the automobile and you can't stop the advent of electric cars. It's going to happen."
The Tesla CEO said the only thing holding back electric vehicles previously was range, which has been solved.

</ul>
Why It's Important: While investors and analysts wanted to hear about Musk's relationship with Trump, what his role<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently"> at the D.O.G.E. </a>means for his time commitment at Tesla and how Trump's EV policies could shape the industry, the earnings call left many questions unanswered.
Trump has been a vocal critic of electric vehicles and also previously said he would ban autonomous vehicles from U.S. roads, a move that would severely hurt the future growth plan of Tesla and its robotaxis.
New Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy shared in a memo that the previous push by Joe Biden's administration for electric vehicles was "forced" on people.
Musk's comments about the future being all-electric and autonomous go against the commentary of Trump and his administration, which could make the friendship between the billionaire and president an interesting development to watch as Musk will likely have to push for support of autonomous vehicles.
Rivian Automotive CEO RJ Scaringe recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43279098/rivian-ceo-brushes-off-7500-electric-vehicle-tax-credit-concerns-evs-are-not-a-political-thing">shared a similar commentary</a> of keeping his eyes on the future and ignoring the short-term "speed bumps" created by items like the end of the federal tax credit.
&#8220;I started the company with the view of making highly compelling products, and none of my decision to start Rivian had anything to do with what the policy was going to look like,&#8221; Scaringe said.
Scaringe said that the potential elimination of the $7,500 tax credit would be &#8220;equally applied to all,&#8221; which could mean a level playing field for all companies in the electric vehicle sector.
&#8220;The future of transportation will be electric.&#8221;
Scaringe said policy revisions like this can&#8217;t slow down the long-term trend of electric vehicle growth and the necessity of having more electric vehicles on the road.
&#8220;This is not a political thing. It&#8217;s not like the left wants to move to electrification. It&#8217;s that the future of transportation will be electric.&#8221;
