If it helps Blue Origin or AWS get a multi $B gov contract under a Trump admin, then the loss will be more than worth it from a purely Bezos financial standpoint.

I don't think it was that expensive of a purchase to care. In the first place it was done in order to stop bashing Bezos himself (I remember how the pivoted from saying how millionaires should not exist to millionaires are good).

Plus a lot of left leaning media hate Bezos anyway.

funny how large amounts of money corrupts one's own values

well, values don't feed you. I am pretty sure a lot of folks would abandon their own beliefs if somebody gave them 1m.

I don't think Bezos was having to choose between eating and $1M.

If money makes one abandon one's values, I would argue they weren't ever really values in the first place.
