Jeff Bezos Lashes Out at Joe Biden and The Democrats

May 15, 2022 | Business, Economy, Politics, Tech |

Years after he avoided responding to attacks from politicians on all sides, the second richest man in the world has decided to fight back. As a challenger determined to bring down the defending champion, Bezos has chosen to be on the offensive. It is he who will dictate the fight by engulfing himself in any opening that his opponent will give him. His tactic is clear: takes a page out of Elon Musk’s book.

In two days, in two successive attacks, Bezos accuses the Biden administration of “misdirection.” Interestingly, the mogul’s attacks come as CEOs grapple with the impact of their policy interventions following the Florida governor’s decision to sanction Disney for taking a stand against the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in the state.

It has been a rough week for the cryptocurrency market, primarily because of the Terra ecosystem collapse and its knock-on effect on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and altcoin prices, plus the panic selling that took place after stablecoins lost their peg to the U.S. dollar.

The bearish headwinds for the crypto market have been building since late 2021 as the U.S. dollar gained strength and the United States Federal Reserve hinted that it would raise interest rates throughout the year.
