Got to love how Bezos bought entire newspapers and then made them run articles about how he doesn't care what people think of him.

it's an interesting tension, i think? i do feel that, emotionally, he doesn't really care, so, the statement is technically true. but, in a performative sense, the billionaire image must be zealously kept, and _that_ i feel is deeply important...? sorry, rambly, coffee hasn't activated yet.

@gureito That makes total sense - I feel like he has to have some emotions about how much people seem to dislike him to publish articles like that, though it definitely could be fully performative.

Before bezos owned the papers he harassed their reporters if they tried to report anything about Amazon with accuracy. I've read several articles that noted no one wants to investigate Amazon because they cause so many problems when information gets published about them

So of course i think he has every incentive to lie and project his ego. Who's gonna check?
