the optimistic interpretation is that people like Bezos aren't quite as Machiavellian as people make them out to be, the negative one is that it's a 'the king tolerates the jester because he's powerless' situation. Reality is probably somewhere in the middle. Bezos doesn't strike me as the petty type but Amazon's probably also not that afraid of reporting.

Bezos is 100% checked out right now. He doesn't even bother checking in on his vanity projects like Blue Origin more than once a week or so.

He's living his best life with his new girlfriend and fancy boat, he's absolutely not going to go slumming at the WaPo headquarters to beat down a couple annoying reporters.
