CHARLES:  IT’S THE BATTLE OF THE
BILLIONAIRES FOLKS ELON MUSK
SETTING HIS SIGHTS ON JEFF BEZOS
AFTER CAPTION INITIALLY REFUSED
TO CARRY NEW YORK FORMER TIMES
BOOK ON THE COVID-19, SUSAN LI
JOINS US WITH MORE DETAILS SUSAN
>>  DON’T YOU LIVE IT WHEN THE
UBER RICH BATTLE?
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE PAY
ATTENTION WHEN THAT HAPPENS AND
YES THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY SO
WE HAVE AMAZON’S SELF-PUBLISHING
ARM CALLED KINDLE DIRECT
REJECTING THE NEW BOOK AND IT’S
CALLED "UNREPORTED TRUTH ABOUT
COVID-19" AND THE LOCKDOWNS ON
ELON MUSK WHICH HAS REALLY BEEN
VOCAL ABOUT THE NATIONWIDE
LOCKDOWNS LEFT TO HIS DEFENSE
TWEETING AT JEFF BEZOS SAYING
THIS IS INSANE AND TAKING IT UP
FURTHER, TIME TO BREAK UP AMAZON
ACCORDING TO ELON MUSK AND IT’S
WRONG!
AMAZON SAYS THE BOOK WAS REMOVED
IN ERROR, NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE
AND WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE AUTHOR.
THE AUTHOR HIMSELF, ALEX BEREN
SON APPEARING ON FOX
NEWS SUGGESTING IT WASN’T FOR A
POWERFUL VOICE IN HIS CORNER
MAYBE HIS BOOK MIGHT NOT HAVE
BEEN REINSTATED.
>>  NOW THEY’VE SAID PUBLICLY
BUT NOT TO ME THAT THEY MADE A
MISTAKE.
PEOPLE CAN JUDGE THAT FOR
THEMSELVES BUT I THINK THE
MISTAKE THEY MADE WAS
PICKING ON SOMEBODY OR  TRYING
TO SENSOR SOMEBODY WHO HAPPENED
TO HAVE A BIG ENOUGH MEGA PHONE
TO SHOUT BACK.
>>  ELON MUSK HAS A VERY BIG
MEGA PHONE SO HEAD-TO-HEAD HERE
IS A LOOK AT THE TWO BOTH ARE
VERY RICH OBVIOUSLY BEZOS A
LITTLE BIT RUCHE ERA ROUND
$148 BILLION AND MUSK IS AROUND
$343 BILLION AND THEY ARE
COMPETITORS IN DIFFERENT
BUSINESSES AND ELECTRIC CARS
MUSK HAS TESLA BUT AMAZON HAS
ALSO INVESTED IN SPACE SINCE WE
KNOW, JEFF BEZOS HAS HIS BLUE
ORIGIN, AND MUSK OF COURSE HAS
HIS SPACEX BUT IT’S NOT JUST
MUSK SAID MAYBE THAT AMAZON IS
TOO BIG.
WE’VE ALSO HEARD PRESIDENT TRUMP
TALK ABOUT ANTI-TRUST WHEN IT
COMES TO AMAZON SINCE THEY
OVERSEE ABOUT 50% OF THE
E-COMMERCE MARKET ALSO
BERNIE SANDERS AND ELIZABETH
WARREN CONTEND THAT THEY DON’T
PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES
BUT WHEN YOU’RE THIS RICH AND
BOTH YOUR STOCK PRICES HAVE HIT
RECORDS THIS YEAR, CAN’T WE ALL
JUST ALL GET ALONG?
CHARLES:  THAT’S WHAT THEY
ALWAYS SAY, SUSAN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
