AfterAmazon.com Inc. CEO Jeff Bezos expressed his interest ofinvesting in space exploration,Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk hassaid it’s “time to break up Amazon”.
The tweets from Musk began when a former New York Times reporter uploaded a screenshot of his book,Unreported Truths About COVID-19 and The Lockdown, not getting a complete green signal from Amazon for breaking unlisted guidelines. He claimed that his book was getting censored for no reason at all.
"THEY CENSORED IT! It is based entirely on published government data and scientific papers. It doesn’t say coronavirus isn’t real or doesn’t kill people (in fact, the worst-case death toll is likely to be striking to people). And Amazon won’t run it," he tweeted along with a screenshot ofthe received mail.
Musk -- (in)famous for his tweets --on that tweet, tagged Jeff Bezos forAlex Berenson, former NYT reporter.
An Amazon spokeswoman later told a media organization that the said book was removed in error and the issues is being dealt with. “We have notified the author,” she said in an email.
Last year, a Space Exploration Technologies Corp. executive had told the media thatAmazon’s effort to build a constellation of broadband internet satellites was years behind the closely held company. Musk founded SpaceX eight years before Bezos started rival manufacturer Blue Origin, and has recently sent two American astronauts to International Space Station after eight long years.
There has been no comments from Jeff Bezos yet.
