Elon Musk: It's 'Time to Break Up Amazon'

3-3 minutes

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter recently to state that it is “time to break up Amazon” escalating an ongoing rivalry between Musk and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

Bloomberg reports that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has ramped up his feud with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, recently tweeting that it was “time to break up Amazon.” Musk tagged Bezos, who is currently the world’s richest man, and stated that “monopolies are wrong.”

Responding to a tweet from former New York Times reporter and author Alex Berenson about his new book

An Amazon spokesperson has since commented on the allegations of censorship stating that the book was removed in error and has been reinstated. “We have notified the author,” the spokesperson stated.

Musk’s interest in the author’s book is unsurprising as he has previously questioned the narrative surrounding the coronavirus pandemic and called for business to reopen long before restrictions were being lifted. In March, Breitbart News reported that Twitter refused to take action against a tweet sent by in which he falsely claimed that children are “essentially immune” to the Wuhan coronavirus. Twitter refused to take action against Musk’s tweet despite stating just one day earlier that it would be tightening its rules on coronavirus misinformation.

Musk stated in a tweet: “Kids are essentially immune, but elderly with existing conditions are vulnerable. Family gatherings with close contact between kids & grandparents probably most risky.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that it is not true that children are immune to the virus. While adults are at a higher risk of infection, children can still get sick with the coronavirus. Musk’s tweet appears to be extremely similar to the types of tweets that Twitter promised to crack down on in an effort to stop the spread of misinformation relating to the virus. In fact, Musk’s post virtually mirrors Twitter’s example of a misleading tweet, which reads “COVID-19 does not infect children because we haven’t seen any cases of children being sick.”

A stronger argument could be made to break up the media.

We had a discussion like this about Amazon a few weeks ago.
Amazon is really not a monopoly. There is nothing from them you can't get somewhere else.
It's like saying you need to break up Walmart.

Someone did make a comment about getting books published is hard with them but I'll skip that tiny part of their business.

Maybe Musk started that warehouse fire?

This is all propaganda. There is a reason he was appointed to say this. Something will result for the NWO. Hands down, they are both globalists and they are appointed to say these insults for a reason, all for the agenda.

"Like breaking up Walmart" That is not a bad idea either.

"Bezos is literally publishing the emails of Amazon customers who object to Amazon supporting the Antifa and BLM terrorists and their Black-on-White Murder Riots
and Jeff Bezos, World's Richest Man, is obviously aware of the mortal risk he is putting these people in, Antifa and BLM have murdered dozens of people, and here Jeff Bezos, World's Richest Man, is painting a bullseye on the backs of Amazon customers who dare to criticize Amazon's open support of Anti-White terrorism."

Actually, while I'm sure he doesn't have "pure" motives here, I think Musk is right Amazon does need some trust-busting, it is a perfect example of the sort of situation that caused Trust-Busting laws to come into being.

At the very least it should be broken up into several smaller companies, possibly spinning off books and media from basic goods and/or from food distribution.

Having ONE company pretty much controlling the markets for food, appliances, electronics, books, media, and even a major grocery chain is asking for trouble.

Especially since behind the scenes, they tend to control even more than that.

I feel the same way about Google "plex" as I like to call it and a couple of other monsters that are turning into mega versions of the old Rail Road and Oil Barons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

There is more to Amazon than the books/retail sales aspects and monopoly status - unlike yesterday's Standard Oil monopoly, a significant profit center for BOTH (pay attention, here!) Amazon AND the American deep state intel folks is the sheer amount of personal info that Amazon has on EACH customer - they package and sell this info to different clients according to what the client is specifically seeking within all of that personal info - Amazon pre-data mines their vast info collection and sells the results - simultaneously, the three letter deep state bunch ALSO mine this same Amazon data for intel purposes, building detailed dossiers on persons of interest, etc. THESE FACTS about Amazon are never discussed in great detail with J6P, even though it is J6P's very specific data that is at the center of this whole profitable enterprise.

Secondly, Amazon ALSO has a formidable lead in cloud tools, services, that is made available to most corporate and government clients - foreign and domestic - it is unclear how much data mining is performed on these "private" cloud services by either Amazon or the deep state three letter bunch.

Amazon's fundamental reason for existence/profit center is the data that it collects, sifts and sells - not to sell books and other items - it is the personal info that has the value/profit, that can be sold, and resold, time and time, again, into the future.

Similar story surrounding the purpose of Google and GMail, and Facebook/Instagram, etc., and their lash-ups with various international government clients - to include China - "FREE" is not actually free to a mostly unaware J6P when using these online services.

. . . 4th amendment be damned.

WHOA. I hadn't seen that before.

Wow, and he's publishing these emails? I'll miss Amazon a whole lot but I agree, they have become a monopoly and they need to be split into bits.

Amazon owns whole foods, one of the worlds largest server farms for internet access, and is now gobbling up all of the dollar stores across north america so it can have access to the little people in the poor areas of NA. This per Mike Kalemeco on The Bite on PBS.
