President Joe Biden was accused of misdirection by Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos on Friday.
The exchange began Friday evening with Biden asking if he could bring down inflation. Let the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
Given its size, Amazon is often criticized for not contributing enough in federal taxes. Still, Bezos, the world's second-wealthiest man who is often held up as a poster boy for income inequality, wasn't ready to start taking heat for inflation as well.
The Department of Homeland Security created a Disinformation Governance Board in April. It's important to discuss inflation. It's just misdirection to keep them together.
Bezos and Amazon were frequently targeted by former President Donald Trump, who often tried to downplay critical investigative stories by the Bezos-owned Washington Post by attributing it to his personal feud with Bezos.
This is the first public spat between Biden and the Amazon founder. It happened on a day when Bezos was active on social-media. In addition to sparring with Biden about inflation, Bezos engaged in conversations with other users about space squirrels.
Since Musk offered to take it private last month, there has been a lot of news about it.
