Musk vs Bezos, #987,608

After author and podcaster Michael Malice tweeted that “Not a single person wringing their hands about @elonmusk buying Twitter has ever had a problem with Jeff Bezos owning the @washingtonpost,” Musk replied, “Good point.”

Musk’s tweet follows much hand-wringing within and outside Twitter about what will happen if Musk does indeed buy the platform for $44 billion. A prolonged drama about the deal has unfolded this year.

Many Twitter users worry Musk’s vow to loosen content moderation will lead to more misinformation, hate speech, and dangerous content. And inside the company, employees are fretting over a report in the Bezos-owned Washington Post that Musk intends to slash 75% of the workforce.
