Jeff Bezos, Mark Cuban Warm Up To Donald Trump

The presidential campaign has been filled with lots of harsh words, criticisms and outright hate rhetoric. Nevertheless, the American people finally had their say and Donald Trump prevailed over Hillary Clinton.

Two of Trump's harshest critics: Marc Cuban and Jeff Bezos.

Cuban, the owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and "Shark Tank" personality, has taken to Twitter many times to express his anger and frustration towards Trump.

Cuban also told CNBC's Jim Cramer that Trump is "ashamed" of his failures.

Bezos, the CEO of Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN and owner of the Washington Post, was accused by Trump of "getting away with murder on tax."

Making Peace

Whether they like it or not -- and chances are they don't -- Trump is now president-elect and in a couple months will be the president of the United States.

Nevertheless, the billionaires are now hoping to set aside their differences and past feuds and perhaps reach a mutual understanding can work together

Cuban Tweeted on Wednesday, "We all need to give President-Elect Trump a chance. Support the good. Lobby against what we disagree on. No one is bigger than us all."

Similarly, Bezos Tweeted on Thursday, "Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump. I for one give him my most open mind and wish him great success in his service to the country."
