Musk and Bezos both have resisted unions.

Musk, tho, has twitter and has exposed government manipulation of public discourse, the point of potential abandonment of the 1st Amendment protections by the US Government.

Bezos has the Washington Post, which has been a very supportive mouthpiece for the admin.

Bezos has played footsie with the left—probably a big contributor to the DNC–so they leave him alone.

regarding Bezos, the all in podcast guys were did an excellent job tearing down the Biden admin for harassing Elon. Then they talk about why it is Biden has it in for him. They say it is 1 part Elon not liking unions. And 2nd part Twitter. But Bezos and Amazon have not only resisted unionization. The Amazon delivery service has decimated the business and income of UPS and the USPS, two very important nationwide union employers. The Amazon delivery workers are not even employees. If Biden was so concerned about unions he would be all against Amazon.
