Bezos acts like a dick too. His space company is materially worse in every way. Amazon is famous for being a shitty place to work. We don’t even know what influence he has on the Washington Post, because he does it in secret. It’s weird you prefer it to be PR-whitewashed rather than just see it for what it is.

Not indulging one asshole does not mean you support the other one.

  But pretending Elon is deserving of this attention is just lazy journalism… like he’s screaming from a megaphone what he’s doing… and journalists aren’t even looking at other billionaires/space companies/car companies that are up to worse activity than anything Elon is responsible for. (I’m not saying it excuses it, but it’s wasted attention)

    He, and his companies deserve every bit of attention. You could argue others deserve just as much (and I'd agree). But no harm in exposing him for being a bigoted man-child, who control unproportional amount of wealth.

Amazon is shitty in shitty contexts, if you take Italy then every employee is unionised with benefits, in US you have this thing where you don’t want the government to be able to regulate but then expect companies to be good samaritan and foot the bill for maternity, sickness, public health, without paying taxes for it. Amazon is a good place, just need to regulate it

  Bad people are actually good they just need more police??? Or everyone is bad - police are what make people good? I don’t know how to parse your statement.

    Companies aren't people. Companies whilst run by people are not acting in the best interest of people as a whole only a small subset of people(stakeholders). Just like criminal gangs and how they lead to some small subsets of people requiring policing(criminals), the same applies to companies(some companies and how they act towards the societies they operate in if regulations were better made and policed adequately would certainly be classed as criminals).
