In classic passive-aggressive Seattle style, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos responded to a handful of tweets by presidential hopeful Donald Trump — by offering to shoot him into space. It was the fourth tweet Bezos has ever posted since his Twitter account went active in 2008.
The spat began with Trump posting a few jabs at Amazon and Bezos, claiming that The Washington Post, which Bezos owns, is using its profits to save Amazon’s lacking profits. Trump also took offense with the Washington Post’s recent editorial content regarding his presidential race.
If @amazon ever had to pay fair taxes, its stock would crash and it would crumble like a paper bag. The @washingtonpost scam is saving it!

The @washingtonpost loses money (a deduction) and gives owner @JeffBezos power to screw public on low taxation of @Amazon! Big tax shelter

The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon.
