Jeff Bezos Receiving Backlash Over His Space Travel

Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man who completed his space mission, is facing backlash. Bezos thanked Amazon employees and customers for making his space tour a success. You might wonder, What is the problem with this? Isn’t it praise but here is why he is being hated?

Despite being a global billionaire, Bezos has gone on tour with people’s money without paying taxes.

Bezos himself received a resounding response when he revealed that he had paid for the construction of the rocket under the auspices of the Amazon company Blue Origin and space travel. I want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you paid for all this. “

Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Legislature, took to Twitter to express her outrage that low wages, a brutal, inhumane office environment, and even during the corona epidemic, delivery drivers could not afford health insurance for Amazon employees.

 Amazon is abusing its market power and paying employees to hurt small businesses. Senator Elizabeth Warren took a jab at Bezos too. She tweeted that Bezos forgot to thank Americans who were paying taxes to run this country while he and his company Amazon paid nothing instead were doing a space tour without paying taxes.

On the other hand, New Democratic Party leader in Canada, Jagmeet Singh, also tweeted criticizing Bezos. The Bezos‌ expedition ended in 11 minutes. He made up millions of dollars every 11 minutes during the coronavirus outbreak and became even richer. While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau allowed Amazon to pay 0$ tax. He added that it was time for the ultra-rich to pay their taxes.

The comments come amid criticism of tax evasion in the United States by billionaire Bezos, who has been accused of harassing Amazon employees for not paying adequate salaries, dangerous working conditions, and not even allowing them lunch and washroom breaks.

Amazon employees and a lot of other businesses have complained about the companys’ aggressive behavior with the employees and competition. People went so far as even to sign a petition not wanting Jeff Bezos returning to earth.

Jeff Bezos successfully completed the historic space mission in 11 minutes on Tuesday.
