Jeff Bezos is already testing Elon Musk’s commitment to free speech by trolling

Blue Origin

The richest man in the world, Musk, hopes that his worst critics remain on the social networking site.

His commitment is getting a test thanks to a fellow tech billionaire. Jeff Bezos quoted a New York Times reporter who pointed out that the government could use the new owner's business interests in China to exert control over the company. Did the Chinese government gain leverage over the town square?

Bezos is not the only person with questions, comments, and criticisms over Musk's purchase of Twitter. He owns the Washington Post and has a net worth of $177 billion, which is within the range of the billionaire.

If you had a few billion dollars and some extra time on your hands, you could gum up the works. It's fun, and maybe this is just how billionaires joke, like poking each other on Facebook or something. Maybe Jeff is like a lot of us and is a bit uneasy about who will own his messages in a few months.
