Billionaire Elon Musk has shown his distrusr=t of Biden on a daily basis but the second richest man Billionaire former CEO of Amazon Jeff Bezos hasn’t been as outspoken until now.
In a recent tweet, Bezos sounded off on Biden and went on record saying “The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet”.
His tweet would go on to say “maybe they need to form a new Non Sequitur Board instead. Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection”.
Take a look at the tweet here:

Many are shocked Bezos would call out the Biden admin considering he’s been silent about Biden for the last year.
Fox News added these details:
Former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos believes President Joe Biden should be subject to his own newly devised Disinformation Board after he shared a tweet that seemed to conflate inflation and corporate taxation.
On Friday, Bezos shared the president’s objectionable tweet, which he labeled “misdirection,” and plainly called for it to be fact-checked.
“The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet, or maybe they need to form a new Non-Sequitur Board instead,” Bezos tweeted in response, claiming the two issues lacked correlation or causation.
“Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection,” he added.
In Biden’s initial tweet, he asked how one could “bring down inflation” and stated the answer was taxing the “wealthiest corporations” more or forcing them to “pay their fair share.”
Biden announced the Department of Homeland Security’s new Disinformation Governance Board, which was created to combat disinformation in online social media posts, earlier this month.
The White House described the board as “nonpartisan” and “apolitical,” but it has since been widely criticized, including knocks from FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who described it as “Orwellian” and “unconstitutional.”
Seeing Jeff Bezos poke fun at Biden’s “Disinformation Board” shows how big of a mistake Nina Jankowicz’s appointment was. This administration is in a free fall.

Amazon’s Bezos criticizes Biden over inflation tweet https://t.co/z2RK5pt0Ob

CNBC got the scoop too:
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos took aim at President Joe Biden on Friday over a tweet that said inflation could be brought down by taxing wealthy corporations.
Biden earlier in the day tweeted: “You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.”
Bezos, whose company has benefited from tax credits and deductions, quoted the tweet to retort: “The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet, or maybe they need to form a new Non Sequitur Board instead,” the former CEO said, apparently referring to the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board. “Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection.”
While he didn’t call out Amazon specifically in that tweet, Biden has previously criticized the company’s tax history. Amazon paid no federal income taxes in 2017 and 2018.
