Jeff Bezos upset Elon Musk by tweeting that his ownership of Twitter may lead to China having influence over the platform.

Bezos responded to a tweet by New York Times reporter Mike Forsythe outlining links between Musk and China. “Tesla’s second-biggest market in 2021 was China (after the US),” the tweet read, noting that “Chinese battery makers are major suppliers for Tesla’s EVs” and that “After 2009, when China banned Twitter, the government there had almost no leverage over the platform.”
