This is hilarious!

Jeff Bezos, the second richest person in the world, owns the Washington Post.

The Washington Post just wrote:

“[Elon] Musk’s appointment to Twitter’s board shows that we need regulation of social-media platforms to prevent rich people from controlling our channels of communication.”

This is hilarious, and extremely hypocritical!

Obviously that’s what we had. And removing censorship is NOT control of anything.

We all know WaPo is owned by the richest guy in the world - but to add to the hypocrisy - the editorial against rich people controlling media was written by Eileen Pao - herself worth about $200 million.

double hypocrisy!

And as announced by Twatter the Board has no decision making power over the operations or policy's.

So the Compost confirms it is both stupid, ignorant, and hypocritical.

Do they really take us for fools? Super rich monomaniac bezos owns the Post! CEOs of Social media are rich!

Musk is not a slave to the radical left, and so the left is seeking to destroy him. They hate to give up even one small bit of their dictatorial control over the expression of thoughts.

I’m beginning to suspect that Bezos is a retard and they it was his ex that had everything to do with Amazon’s success.

Musk has also stated in the past that Bezos “must have nothing better to do than constantly sue him” over SpaceX’s dominance of the civilian space market and the NASA contracts he keeps getting.

Bezos will sue Musk over this also.
