Bezos on the fast track to inherit the "Biggest Billionaire Assh*le On The Planet" crown from Musk

I didn't include Trump in that, because every time we turn around, his "wealth" is either inflated or deflated. If he's a billionaire today, 2/7/26, then of course. He's #1 in front of Musk. And I left out Thiel because he prefers to be the evil scientist in his evil lab, rather than a media whore like Musk.

Will Lewis is out as CEO and publisher of The Washington Post after two tumultuous years marked by layoffs, restructuring, and newsroom revolt.
Lewis stepped down on Saturday, days after the paper slashed roughly 30 percent of its staff, gutting more than 300 journalism jobs. In an internal email obtained by The New York Times, Lewis said he was leaving “to ensure the sustainable future of The Post.”
Owner Jeff Bezos praised the paper’s “essential journalistic mission,” but made clear the reset is already underway. Former CFO Jeff D’Onofrio will take over as interim CEO.
