Agi: Musk e Bezos 'alleati' contro la beneficenza, i follower: "Sfruttate i lavoratori"

AGI - Elon Musk e Jeff Bezos, due tra gli uomini più ricchi del pianeta, si sono trovati per una volta d’accordo: entrambi ritengono che sia più utile alla società produrre lavoro che fare beneficenza.
Bezos: "Meglio produrre lavoro che fare beneficenza" 
Il fondatore di Amazon, a cui Forbes attribuisce una ricchezza personale di 270 miliardi di dollari, ha dichiarato in un’intervista a Cnbc: "Se faccio bene il mio lavoro, il valore per la società e per la civiltà generato dalle mie aziende a scopo di lucro sarà molto, molto più grande del bene che faccio attraverso le mie donazioni benefiche”.
Musk rilancia l'intervista del fondatore di Amazon 
Musk, maggiore azionista di Tesla, SpaceX e del social X, un uomo che secondo Forbes ha un patrimonio personale di 804 miliardi, ha rilanciato il post con l’intervista di Amazon, scrivendo “vero”. 
L'alleanza tra Musk e Bezos indigna i follower 
Ma l’alleanza dei due super miliardari non ha provocato quell’ondata di approvazione e simpatia che Musk si aspettava, nonostante molti suoi follower lo considerino un idolo. Numerosi utenti hanno criticato la loro posizione, ricordando che i due sono tra meno filantropici al mondo. “
"Solo pretesti per accumulare ricchezza" 
Fare lavorare i vostri dipendenti fino alla morte non è quello a cui punto”, ha scritto un utente su X, commentando il post di Musk. “Solo scuse per accumulare ricchezza a spese della gente comune. Siete disgustosi”, ha commentato una donna.
“I miliardari - ha affermato un terzo - non sono geniali ma sfruttatori dei lavoratori e con nessuna aderenza alla realtà”. L’account Yudi ha sintetizzato la maggior parte delle posizioni della rete: “Creare lavoro è fantastico, aiutate i dipendenti a guadagnarsi da vivere e loro aiutano a generare i vostri profitti. Ma la vera domanda è: da tutto il denaro che i vostri dipendenti vi fanno guadagnare, quanto ne donate senza aspettarvi nulla in cambio? Questa è la carità che Dio chiede”.

Musk and Bezos ‘allies’ against philanthropy, followers: “Exploit the workers”

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, two of the wealthiest men on the planet, found themselves agreeing for once: both believe it’s more beneficial to society to produce work than to engage in philanthropy.

Bezos: “Better to produce work than to do charity”

The founder of Amazon, who Forbes attributes with a personal wealth of $270 billion, stated in an interview with Cnbc: “If I do my job well, the value for society and civilization generated by my for-profit companies will be much, much greater than what I do through my charitable donations.”

Musk Responds to Bezos’ Interview

Musk, majority shareholder of Tesla, SpaceX and X Social, a man who Forbes estimates to have a personal wealth of $804 billion, reposted the Amazon interview, writing “true.”

The Alliance Between Musk and Bezos Angers Followers

But the alliance of the two super billionaires did not provoke the wave of approval and sympathy that Musk expected, despite many of his followers considering him an idol. Numerous users criticized their position, recalling that the two are among the least philanthropic in the world. “Just excuses to accumulate wealth”

“Working your employees to death is not what I'm aiming for,” one user wrote on X, commenting on Musk’s post. “Just excuses to accumulate wealth at the expense of ordinary people. You are disgusting,” commented a woman.

“Millionaires – said a third – are not geniuses but exploiters of workers and with no connection to reality.” Account Yudi summarized most of the network’s positions: “Creating jobs is great, help your employees earn a living and they help generate your profits. But the real question is: how much do you donate from all the money your employees make for you without expecting anything in return? That’s the charity God asks.”

Amazon accused of keeping hundreds of millions in tariff costs to curry favor with Trump administration

The Supreme Court ruled in February that Trump lacked authority under IEEPA to impose certain tariffs on imported goods
New class action suit against Amazon because they not only aren't refunding the illegal tariff tax customers paid but aren't asking for a refund like they have the right to.
