Jeff Bezos flubbed his number swap with Mohammed bin Salman
Photo: Mike Kane/Bloomberg via Getty Images News broke earlier this week alleging that Jeff Bezos’s phone had been hacked, via a malware-laden video file sent to him by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. The video was sent over the popular messaging service WhatsApp. The implications of the supposed hack, between two extremely wealthy and powerful figures on the world stage, are varied and concerning.
Upon receiving MBS’s number, Bezos sent this message: “Hello MBS.” Useless! This is a completely useless text message for Person A to send Person B. MBS knows that his name is MBS, he doesn’t need someone else texting him his own name. .
