"We have nowhere else to go and Amazon know it." The FTC and states are going after Amazon, largely for stopping merchants from offering discounts elsewhere.
Jeff Bezos handed the CEO position to Jassy or whatever the fuck their name is prior to the rocket launch so if it went catastrophically wrong the stock price wouldn’t absolutely tank. Jeff is still a big shaker and mover with the board and effectively is still the CEO, even if not on paper.
As a side note, that was the trip they hyped up as “getting new perspectives from artists” and sent Shatner up there. When they came back down shatner was SHOOK and basking in the afterglow that a new perspective of the insignificance of their self brings and starts trying to articulate such a mind altering experience. Bezos met that energy by pulling out booth babes to champagne shower himself.
Was super tone deaf.
If you want to see it yourself just google “Bezos Interrupts Shatner Champagne”.
Hands up, who thinks Jeff Bezos is still CEO?
No one. But the masterclass in enshittification was pioneered by Bezos, not the current CEO. That’s why the FTC quotes him.

I’ve been on the internet long enough to be weary about searching terms. However, that was indeed fucking terrible.
