I’m honestly surprised how people on twitter think Bezos is a better person than Musk. (Then again twitter is crazy) Bezos runs a near-monopoly company, never invests his money to good causes, and always does things for his own wealth and fame.

Threaten

Haha toning it down after the pedo guy incident. Come on elonmusk you can do better than that

He is joking ffs. They are both in cahoots together to completely privatize transportation. Their ultimate goal is to be landlords of fleets of autonomous vehicles. Bezos isn't competition. ICE vehucles that a more expensive to fuel and maintain are.

I believe it's called competition. 'Copy' forward - good for us all.

This is trash journalism

It is what it is
