It is routine to find Tesla Inc (: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk in the comments section of (CRYPTO: DOGE) co-creator Billy Markus’ tweet but there’s a new entrant — who also just happens to be one of the world’s richest people.
Amazon.com, Inc (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:) CEO Jeff Bezos had words of praise for Markus on Wednesday.
What Happened: Bezos responded to a tweet by Markus that touched on party affiliations and moderates.
Bezos said, “Seen you refer to yourself as a sh*tposter but maybe you’re mostly just a wiseposter.”

Why It Matters: Markus’ post came after Musk declared himself a Republican voter on Twitter (NYSE:) after calling the Democrats a party of “division and hate.”
Bezos also interacted with a Twitter user who suggested that the Amazon founder invite Markus and him on to his yacht along with Lauren Sanchez. Sanchez is said to be Bezos’ girlfriend.
Thank you. I’ve been working hard on my ass.
