Honestly as big of a piece of shit as bezos is, he’s ten times better then musk
While I don’t disagree on character level, I think what bezos has done with amazon is probably much worse for the climate than anything Musk has done.
Amazon really enabled consumerism on steroids, where people buy tons and tons of goods often not because of real needs but because corporations through ads and influencers have talked them into wanting the new shiny stuff. These goods are produced cheaply and with little regard for the environment (or for the people producing them), in some poor asian country and then shipped half way around the planet, often even sent by air mail just because people lack self control and “need” to have their order in the mail immediately. And then, be it because it was an impulse purchase or because of cheap construction or the thing not being hip and new anymore, the stuff goes to a landfill after only months or a few years of use, wasting tons of resourses and energy consumed in prodiction and turning into a burden on the environment again.
All that is not to say Musk is somehow not as bad, but to say they are both equally very bad people, just for different reasons
