    Default Meet the new boss

    Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos will step down from his post in the third quarter of 2021 and be replaced by Andy Jassy, the head of the company’s cloud computing unit.

    Jassy, 53, for years has been seen as a potential successor to Bezos, who founded the company as an online bookstore from his Seattle garage more than 25 years ago and became one of the world’s wealthiest men. Jassy’s likelihood as successor seemed inevitable last year when Jeff Wilke, who was the consumer business chief and was also seen as a potential successor, announced he’d be leaving this year.

    Bezos, 57, the company’s driving force since its founding, will become executive chairman, Amazon said Tuesday in a statement.

    Those two look like they could start up an off the strip rendition of Siegfried and Roy, if Bezos cared to super glue a toupee on..

    If either Abracadabra or Die came out of Bezos mouth, I'd be like "yep, that seems right"

    Agreed. Just imagine the amount of evil we could get up to making $58m an hour...

    I wonder if Bezos is going to have a cage match against Gates for the role of anti-Christ. Zuckerberg is to much of a nancy to compete. I hope it's as cool as the fight between Captain Kirk and the lizard guy in Star Trek.

    He's probably stepping down so he can get the hell out of Washington state. They're trying to implement a wealth tax of 1% on assets over $1 billion.

    There are some island countries, so you could have both in one. Or just buy one of each and have both but two.
