And just like that, we’ve gone from Russia to China. Jeff Bezos, the egg headed owner of Amazon and the Washington Post, and SECOND richest man in the world, second to Elon Musk is tossing out conspiracy theories about Chinese CCP being involved in Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
Interesting question. Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage over the town square? https://t.co/jTiEnabP6T

“Interesting question. Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage of the town square?” Bezos tweeted in response to a New York Times reporter who noted Tesla’s reliance on China for its large market and lithium batteries.
The “town square” presumably refers to Musk’s tweet after securing the deal with Twitter: “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.”
Bezos better what his mouth. He doesn’t want to piss of the communist China, since they make about 90% of the crap that’s on Amazon.
