NEW: Jeff Bezos says he's 'very optimistic' about the incoming Trump administration, offering to help streamline regulations and dismissing concerns about Elon Musk leveraging government power against competitors. "I'm actually very optimistic this time around. He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation and from my point of view, if I can help him do that, I'm going to help him because we do have too many regulations in this country." "If you look at the national debt and how gigantic it is as a portion of GDP, these are real long-term problems, and the way we get out of them is by outgrowing them. You're going to solve the problem of the national debt by making it a smaller percentage of GDP. Not by shrinking the national debt but by growing the GDP. You have to grow the denominator, and that means you have to grow GDP at, you know, 3, 4, or 5 percent a year." "If you can do that, this is a very manageable problem. So we need a growth orientation in this country. The most important thing is a growth mindset. And we are the luckiest country in the world. We have all these natural resources, including energy independence. We have the best risk capital system in the world..." "But we are burdened by excessive permitting and regulation. You can't build a bridge, and we see these examples all the time. I'm very optimistic that President Trump is serious about this regulatory agenda, and I think that he has a good chance of succeeding..." "You've probably grown in the last eight years. He has, too. What I've seen so far is that he is calmer than he was the first time, more confident, and more settled." @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump @JeffBezos
