Jeff Bezos on Monday questioned whether his fellow billionaire Elon Musk could be making Twitter vulnerable to pressure from China, as a result of Musk's extensive business liabilities in the Asian nation.'Interesting question,' mused Bezos, who in 2013 bought The Washington Post with a view to protecting free speech and supporting journalism. 'Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage over the town square?'He commented atop a retweet from a New York Times journalist, noting that Musk's Tesla was extremely exposed to China. China is Tesla's second largest market,

Musk owns all of Twitter. The only person's pocket Twitter is in is Musk's.

What the hell is a Jameela Jamil? I had hoped that when Bezos bought the Post he could save the Post from it's America-hating socialist leanings; boy was I chagrinned? It's as bad now if not worse than when Kathryn Graham and Ben Bradlee took it over the edge in the 1960s. Bezos doesn't give damn about Chinese control over anything, he's putting up a deflection defense from his own Socialistic tendencies.

The biggest conflict of interest ever is Bezos owning the Washington Post. The paper trail and his protection of China and this administration is available for any amateur historian.

I'm always stunned whenever anybody gives a single hoot about what these Hollywierd dolts have to say about anything. So, Jameela Jamil, whoever in hell she is, isn't going to tweet anymore. Will the sun stop rising because of this world shaking news?
When you get this whining and screeching from the looney libs because of Mr. Musks purchase, you know you're bombing directly over the target. I love it.

If I was Musk I would've asked Jeffie where does most of his crap from Amazon come from and get back to me about being in the pocket of the Chicom government. Also Jameela Jamil not tweeting again. WTHC!

The liberal angst is hilarious and absurd.
I believe the biggest problem that Musk will face is that some employees, no longer able to play censors, will leave. He will probably have to hire some new people and the platform may face some glitches until things stabilize. Will he be able to find neutral employees in San Francisco? Maybe he won't need as many employees now that the burdens of being censors are greatly reduced.

I'm surprised Bezos didn't say Musk was in the pocket of President Trump. That would have been more in tune to his Leftist brand. Yep, Bezos has revealed himself to be small and petty.
Bloomberg was always jealous of Trump when he was the mayor of NYC. It's called billionaire envy.

Jameela Jamil (I assume he/she/it is a celebrity of sorts) staying away from Twitter...
And in a related story...

Bezos runs the WashComPost - one of the most fundamentally dishonest propaganda operations in the country, right in there with the NYT.
I go well out of my way to avoid buying anything from Amazon, because I don't want to fund this damned leftist thug.

oh boy, where to start on this one!!
first, Bezos is declaring a little penile envy in calling out Elon Musk and especially trying to link him to the Chicoms - what a joke!!
second, the dimmest bulbs in the tree on Christmas Eve are those propaganda flunkies in hollywood who think that they are important, relevant, non-disposable, etc, have got to wake up some day and realize they put on their boxer shorts and panties the same way the rest of us do - but self infatuation is a hard characteristic to eliminate from one's persona, so, they are all lost causes and the longer they stay lost the better off we are, don't go to the movies and only watch the movies of the 30's, 40's and 50's

If you read even the first paragraph or so, you find that the headline (typically for the DM) misleads. Bezos was asked a question. He responded that it was an “interesting question” and responded with his own question.
These lib publications will continue to try to go after Musk while many of the rest of us admire him.

On the aging Brit actress Jamil (37) FTA:
'I fear this free speech bid is going to help this hell platform reach its final form of totally lawless hate, bigotry, and misogyny. Best of luck.'
Jamil has since been widely-mocked by people in her replies claiming that she's far too much of an attention-seeker to stay off Twitter.

If Jeff Bezos has a problem with Elon Musk in relation to China he might want to take a look at his buddy Joey, aka "China" Biden and his family. The Biden family is owned by China. Fact is, these democrats like the Bezo man are a bunch of hypocrites. You see, they who oppress free speech are terrified by free speech. Anyone who speaks the truth are their worst enemy. Got it...

Isn't Bezos the one who sells items that are least 60% Chinese manufactured.........and who has never ever said a word about the wuhjgrs or Hong King? AND WHO OWNS THE WASH POST which totally ignored the Hunter Biden story et al.? Thought so.
