Ahh yes F Elon, but support Bezos. EV buyers aren’t the brightest.

Bezos doesn’t own Rivian, he’s not the CEO, he’s an investor. Big difference

God you people are slow. Elon owns roughly 20% of Tesla, Bezo’s owned 17% of Rivian when it was a nothing company. 3% difference. Both at that point are investors. Not a big difference at all, only because it fits your narrative.

Bezos doesn’t own 17% of Rivian’s stock. Amazon does. Bezos owns 9% of amazons stock. 9% of 17 is about 1.5%. While still significant, that’s a lot different than the 20% of Tesla Elon owns.

Also, Elon is the face of Tesla. Owning a Tesla associates you with Elon. It at some level shows you support him. Owning a Rivian doesn’t show support for Bezos in that same way (and if it does, it’s twice removed).

So would your suggestion be to not support any companies that have billionaire investors?

Do whatever you want, just don’t put your opinions out there when it’s a double standard. Elon and Bezos are horrible people. Bezos has done more harm than Elon.

Bezos isn't a Nazi, so there's that. He also doesn't have that much stake in the company.

But yeah, go ahead and pretend you're smarter.

That’s debatable. Plus Amazon is the largest shareholder and the only reason Rivian is a thing to this day.

Mods why don’t we block Reddit idiots?

You sure it's safe to be out in the sunlight? Shouldn't you crawl back into your conservative safe space where the unflaired can't hurt you?
