Jeff Bezos shared a tweet suggesting China may gain influence over Twitter once Elon Musk buys the company, hinting at Musk's business ties to China.

"My own answer to this question is probably not," Bezos added. "The more likely outcome in this regard is complexity in China for Tesla, rather than censorship at Twitter."Despite the caveat, Bezos' comments are the latest in a long-running feud between the two billionaires.

The pair have frequently sparred over their respective space ambitions over the years. Musk is CEO of SpaceX, while Bezos runs his own space venture, Blue Origin. While Musk has promised to improve Twitter's role as a "digital town square" in which users can speak and debate freely, the takeover has sparked concern from some politicians and campaigners who worry it will give the world's richest man too much control over online discourse.

Fair point. Musk is yet to prove his China interests will not come ahead of the espoused principles

The guy that empowers China on Amazon lol ok

'Gets wrecked in replies ' 🤣 I like this version better 👇

Is this akin to China having leverage over the NBA and KingJames ?

Well, after all these years he has proven that he stays out of Washington-post business. Musk will still have to prove to us that he can keep Twitter the way we like it.

Bezos did a good job selling books... became very wealthy...divorced and quit creating because of wife two...Elon...right or wrong is still trying to innovate

Musk is a ccp stooge. Why isn’t he fighting forfree speech in China?

Three billionaires give me the creeps, Bezos is one of them along with Zucky and Gates.

We could have very well said the same thing when he bought the washingtonpost

So if Musk buys Twitter, does something stupid like put a subscription fee on, or the price drops $20 bucks over the next 2 years as we flirt with a recession; will Morgan Stanley, B of A, and Barclays eventually own Tesla?

Okay TFG is a traitor. He said he won't go back on. Now Bezos who is like a different human garbage heap is saying he is not behind twitter. We have a problem. I totally forgot about 8-chan. I think that's what might be up. I think Elon wants to bring dark web online.

Jeff is just jealous .. AMZN failed in China while TSLA was a huge success that push Elon to the richest man.

Hi, Jeff. Amazon is next. Wait for your turn. Thank you. 🤫

Absolutely. Let’s see if Elon Musk’s will ban all tweets on Uighur Genocide, Taiwan, Tibet & Hong Kong Democracy.

What percentage of products sold on Amazon are made in China and what kind of leverage does that give them?

No it doesn’t it give them a fright.

F bezos
