Jeff Bezos delivered one of the worst takes against Musk’s acquisition of Twitter; so much so that he eventually backpedaled his pointed commentary.

The Amazon founder alleged that the Chinese government had gained a stronghold of America’s public forum, aka Twitter, on behalf of Elon Musk’s purchase of the site on Monday.

Hours after the news, Bezos quoted a tweet that interpreted China’s stake in Tesla’s (owned by Musk) production.
