Jeff Bezos Trump Split - H 2015
Getty ImagesAmazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos on Monday said it is time to send GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump into space.
In a tweet posted in the afternoon, Bezos said, “Finally trashed by @realDonaldTrump. Will still reserve him a seat on the Blue Origin rocket. #sendDonaldtospace.”

The accompanying video shows Blue Origin’s New Shepard space vehicle landing last month after flying to space. Blue Origin is Bezos‘ private space company.
The send-Trump-to-space suggestion appears to be a response to the billionaire businessman’s tweets posted earlier in the day saying Bezos uses his other property, The Washington Post, as a “big tax shelter.”
The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon.

The @washingtonpost loses money (a deduction) and gives owner @JeffBezos power to screw public on low taxation of @Amazon! Big tax shelter

If @amazon ever had to pay fair taxes, its stock would crash and it would crumble like a paper bag. The @washingtonpost scam is saving it!

Trump has gone into attack mode with multiple news outlets following stories critical of his campaign.
