Twitter reacts to Jeff Bezos torching Biden's latest plan to tackle inflation: 'Dang they lost Jeff'

Amazon CEO and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos caused quite a stir on Twitter Friday when he publicly mocked President Joe Biden for his latest solution for inflation.

The world’s second richest man, behind Elon Musk, responded to the president's tweet saying that making the wealthiest businesses in the world "pay their fair share" would solve the inflation crisis currently gripping America.

On Friday, Biden tweeted, "You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share."

Bezos cracked Biden’s tweet, beginning with a dig against the administration’s new propaganda department, "The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet, or maybe they need to form a new Non Sequitur Board instead.

"Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection," he added, completely trouncing the president’s idea.

Many Twitter users expressed shock that Bezos, the man who owns one of the most prominent left-leaning newspapers in the world, would call out Biden in such strong terms.

I say the second richest man in the US has a handle on economics. A demented 40+ year public employee not so much.

Then why doesn’t he run for office and fix things?

Being an amazing capitalist has nothing to do with being a good economist.
