He could have saved it by keeping his mitts off of it.

Fines need to be proportionate.

But then he’d be out $240 million that he doesn’t need duhhh

...but Ayn Rand would roll over in her grave.

Why would he offset the losses of a newspaper nobody wants to read? Just to have it?

And Americans just keep funding the Trump funding beast, clicking BUY NOW like kids in a candy store. Because "free" shipping? No. Because selfish consuming zombies gonna consume.

Or perhaps paid some taxes. Or helped poor children to eat. Or contributed to education or the arts. .... Naaah .... probably saving up for his 1 year anniversary celebration....

And just squishing out happyness, e.g. Musk and Twitter.

I thought she and Melinda should fund NPR as well. They could help get the narrative back on track.

He has no interest in selling it. He’s just constantly looking for ways to kiss 💩4️⃣🧠 a*s, and the destruction of a storied publication that used to say mean things about 👺 gets Bezos a few points in the Race of the Oligarchs to be #1️⃣

Obsolescence engineering: designed to fail

Too bad Mackenzie didn’t get it in the divorce.

I never thought that if I had a choice between Amazon, Target and Walmart, I'd start thinking Walmart might be the best of the worst.

I am perplexed why anyone wants WaPo endure. It has been dead and rotting for years. Anyone still there has zero credibility.

Say what you will about Charles Foster Kane, he was more than willing to use his own money to support his failing newspaper.

Saying the Washington Post is losing money is Hollywood accounting. It's advertising and propaganda for billionaires. And apparently a tax write-off.

Bezos is purposely killing the WaPo to try to get into Trump’s good graces; he wants to take the role of “quirky billionaire sidekick” that Elmo vacated. Trump will never forgive him for a decade of bad WaPo press.

strong “let them eat cake” vibes

Hey guys, if you aren't doing so already, boycott Amazon.

"Losses" are often a result of asset stripping.

You do realize that being chairman of the board, he's restricted to very limited trading windows... Aww who am I kidding? His superyacht cost more than that. And after thirty years of diversification, he could raise the funds without selling a share of Amazon.

He can't keep the Government Contract line open if he doesn't close the Post. All about the money from Trump and Hegseth. All out war upon non-wealthy Americans.

WAPO was destroyed long ago, this is just icing on the moldy cake.

The 7 Deadly G.R.E.E.D.

Jesus.

Guess how much he'll get taxed on 2.52 BILLION..... probably nothing, there's loopholes for rich whyte guys like him.

Rich whyte guys don't give a fuck about society or other people in general. ALL they care about is Money/Power/Prestige and evidently based on the Epstein files, sexually abusing children. I guess when you got it all, it's hard to appreciate the simple & pure things in life. Love/Empathy/Kindness

B O Y C O T T! People are not shutting him down! He’s the nastiest! Worse than Target, Walmart, ABC and yet America, he’s still feeding!

He seems to be doing this intentionally - taking down the 4th estate. His actions today are counter to his intentions he voiced when he bought the WashPost. And he succeeded until ‘recently’… ironic he doesn’t seem to mind losing money on the Melania movie, but not on a major enterprise.

Intentional destruction of a symbol of freedom and an instrument to hold the rich and powerful to account. Trump's bidding.

Right !

Making money on the paper was never the intention. Capture and destroy was always the intent. And of course, kissing the Orange Felon’s ass along the way.!

These billionaires are stomping on regular Americans so they can kiss up to tRUMP to get their next projects funded by taxpayers! 🤬

Need to start admitting that corporate greed is bad for business

Not germane

Or he can afford to have a business plan of journalistic plagiarism and theft.

The institutional vestiges of the republic swept aside one dissenting voice at a time…

It's was never about money, it's about proximity to power no matter what sociopath holds it.

Maybe he has to finance more bribes, uh, I mean, documentaries & ballrooms

Serious question. If Bezos wanted to placate Trump, why would he cut sports and local instead of political and investigative. What am I missing?

A very bad human...what a surprise!

awesome! that sounds like a completely reasonable amount of money to me! i have $50!

He wants to be able to tell Trump that he killed the post in order to get some Blue Origin and AWS contracts.

Won't make him any real friends though, poor guy 😢

Buy-and-snuff-out is a common corporate strategy.

The Post should not have been sold to JB anyway. Blame the people who sold it to him. They should have known what he was about, and it wasn't journalism. Of course, money talks. The Post is (was) more than a newspaper, it was an American institution that held power to account.

Why are people complaining about a propaganda fake news outlet firing people.

Rich people never spend their own money.

Chicago School flavoured Capitalism working for the billionaire as it always does! ✊

Well Jeff and Donald should be charged with numerous counts of Sexual Contact/Rape of a minor. There's quite a few if survivors who are willing to testify against their abusers. Like 'Lil Jeff.

≈ piling up at 321 metres per hour

Imagine if he were a true humanitarian instead of a greedy asshat. We would have the best healthcare in the world

Bezos is not trying to save the Post. He’s following Trump’s order to destroy it. See Twitter, CBS, the Kennedy Center. Silly wannabee dictators, there are few barriers to entry to start a media channel and there are about a bazillion more already.

Muzzling/destroying the Post is his assignment.

Yeah, but you know how much money you could make with $70 million a day?

Netanyahu doesn’t want Americans to know too much about what’s going in his he Middle East and billionaires don’t want the financial frauds exposed.

He could pump money into the Post to revitalise it and make it a great investigative newspaper again, but today's oligarchs are small men.

Exactly. He doesn’t need the Post to make a cent.

Cancel Prime, Audible and Goodreads subscriptions as well!

When is enough enough?

Jeff Bezos’ tax cuts at the expense of the working class, did not trickle down to the Post.

🤮

how anyone, especially the poor, could think this is okay just baffles me

When I was subscribed to the post, you was the hardest working writer there. I remember you putting out several stories daily and all of them were on point.

Cancel Amazon Prime, everybody. There should be a penalty for destroying a great institution of U.S. journalism.

Wow, that’s remarkable.

I suspected as much. What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

Watch the 1997 Sixty Minutes segment on YouTube. His ethics have changed. Dramatically.

At some point these guys stop being concerned with how their companies are doing and become only concerned with how they are doing.

Cool, very cool.

My dear Mr. Bezos, kindly go f**k yourself. Please. And, thank you for your attention to this matter.

IN EVERY POST ASK FOR IMPEACHMENT + ARREST OF TRUMP ET AL - FOCUS ON THE ONE THING THAT ALLEVIATES ALL OUR PROBLEMS!!!

He made 1000x that in graft from the Trump administration by firing the staff. He will replace them with AI. Do you want to bet he will give the AI a person by line ( and not AI generated story)?

And many of us former long-term subscribers dropped our subscriptions with his 🐮 💩 control over the editorial section.

Why should he? If the business isn't making money, why keep funding it? Honest question.

Bezos bought WaPo because he could & he thought it might earn him some prestige Now it becomes an albatross People keep expecting superior "Journalism" from WaPo & he isn't up to the job Over 40 years of tax cuts, tax incentives, & subsidies for the wealthy & we get a fit of pique from a billionaire

It's not about profit and loss. It's about crippling a staple of journalism. Because truth is an enemy of his class.

Yes, there is, apparently, little end of Resources to draw upon. However, in the case of the Washington Post, it would take Character to use some to keep his share of the Fourth Estate in full operative mode.

He's a fucking creep.

It looks like it was never about making a profit, but controlling the narrative.

WHY AND HOW .. PLS JOIN MY PERSONAL BOYCOTT / BLACKLIST OF ALL THINGS BEZOS

The man who killed his horse is still kicking his horse

He is least interested in journalism. He bought it to control it.

The Washington Post, Good For Lining Your Bird Cage.

Wish his ex would have bought it instead

You know I outdoor make fun and ridicule Bezos but basically these billionaires are in American and only pro self.

Obscene!

My pebble in the pond #fuckjeffbezos #boycottamazon

It is clear killing WaPo was not business but personal. Puts a whole new twist on that “democracy dies in darkness” tagline when Bezos is the one turning out the lights.

The only conclusion from this is JB is a pompous arsehole who enjoys controlling people’s lives. He knocks them down to feel better about himself.

It's a tax write-off, just like making Melania's movie. He knows his deliberately destroying the Post will make Donald just as happy.

It’s not about money, that’s just the excuse they tell us. They have transcended capital.

I’m not a commie but the staggering wealth inequality is not working

Warren has to be so sad about what has happened.

Yep. Just a big fash pussy

Amazon workers who have to pee in bottles in warehouses because they can't have a toilet break must be so happy to hear this

We cannot afford billionaires.

MSM is part of the cover up ...

That seems to be true.

Henry Ford was one as well

This has always been the American way, now it's just more blatant.

The #corruptocracy strike again

And people still buy shit from Amazon. FFS 🤦‍♀️

It’s ridiculous that people are still supporting Amazon and making him richer. Stop giving him your money, shop elsewhere

At last we know what it is that’s trickling down. 💩😑

If he wanted to!!! He has no interest! The deal with his crime family "boss" is to bury the "Leftist" paper that has accurately reported on the 🍊 pos' corruption and stupidity!!!

We know it's not about the money. It's about having his lips firmly attached to trumps ass.

It’s not about that, is it?

Uhhhhh… DC is rotten with those on the Epstein list.. cant have local news snooping around wondering why law offices are still employing those that contacted Epstein about how the insides of a 12 year old taste

78.8 million per day

I don't believe he cares at all about the WP. However expect a 180 should the Dems win in '28, maybe even in '26. It's all about securing his govt contracts. In other words, *Money*

He must be exhausted from all that hard work. I am and I don't make nearly that🙄

Bezos has sold his soul. I'm going back to less convenient, but democracy-supporting individual vendors. Amazon is monopolizing online sales, and this won't be good in the long run.

💋ing 🍊 🤡 🫏

But he won't. Because his insatiable greed won't let him.

or ya know, not suck at running a newspaper?

He doesn’t care. He purposely ran the paper into the ground.

Or, to put it another way, its a cheap price to take a critical piece of media infrastructure off the table

Resistandunsubscribe.com - in a capitalist society only money matters

And he should have. Nurturing it like a baby. Sure. Yeah. Right.
