Jeff Bezos under fire after comments about the Queen’s death – reactions

The Queen’s passing has been worldwide news, with even Jeff Bezos sending tweets in support of her detractors.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos quoted a tweet from Carnegie Mellon professor Uju Anya, who’d written several hours before: “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.”

Bezos, quoting the post, then tweeted: “This is someone supposedly working to make the world better? I don’t think so. Wow.”

Perhaps some people thought Bezos sticking up for the Queen was a noble act.

However, for many others seeing one of the richest person ever, who flies rockets to space for fun, wade into the argument didn’t go down that well.
