Just announcing his retirement from Twitter, Elon Musk tweeted to tease the Amazon boss

Tram Ho

Just three days ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk also announced that he temporarily stopped playing social media for a while. But when the habit of poking other billionaires on social media into Mr. Musk’s blood, it’s hard to stop it immediately. Yesterday, Mr. Musk posted a new tweet calling for “Amazon split” because of its monopoly.

The cause of the derision came from the former journalist’s tweet for the New York Times, Alex Berenson. Earlier, this journalist – a skeptic about the disease of Covid-19 – wanted to publish a book online entitled “The Unknown Facts about Covid-19 and the Blockade” (Unreported Truths About) COVID-19 and The Lockdown). However, Amazon’s Kindle Publishing has blocked this book.

In response to the journalist’s complaint tweet, Musk tagged Jeff Bezos, the Amazon boss, and said, “This is crazy.”

“Now is the time to split Amazon. Monopoly is wrong.” He said in the next tweet.

An Amazon representative said the book’s removal was a mistake and is being restored. “We have notified the author.” An Amazon representative said in the email.

While Tesla and Amazon are not competing in the market, their leaders face off against each other in other areas.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX companies and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin are all racing to send people to outer space. Not only that, both companies are ambitious global satellite internet coverage. While SpaceX has begun deploying its Starlink satellite network for internet broadcasting, Amazon’s similar project, Kuiper, is just beginning at the research stage.

With 35 million followers on Twitter, it’s obvious that posting daily tweets has become an addiction to Musk. Especially when he was having the opportunity to tease one of his rivals in the space race – a lucrative business in the future.
