Episode description

Jeff Bezos upset Elon Musk by tweeting that his ownership of Twitter may lead to China having influence over the platform.

According to The Hill:


In a tweet posted Monday evening, Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos questioned the possibility of Chinese influence on Twitter after fellow billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter.

Bezos responded to a tweet by New York Times reporter Mike Forsythe outlining links between Musk and China.

“Tesla’s second-biggest market in 2021 was China (after the US),” the tweet read, noting that “Chinese battery makers are major suppliers for Tesla’s EVs” and that “After 2009, when China banned Twitter, the government there had almost no leverage over the platform.”
