Jeff Bezos on Peter Thiel: ‘Seek revenge and you should dig two graves’

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has spoken out against Peter Thiel and in defense of Gawker, telling a Los Angeles audience: “Beautiful speech doesn’t need protection. At the Code Conference on Tuesday evening the Amazon founder went on to say that free speech was ensured both by the constitution and “cultural norms”, implying that although Thiel could legally fund lawsuits against reporters, the PayPal co-founder was violating American culture. Bezos, immensely private and known for successful business but high-stress workplaces, has over the past few years expanded far beyond his e-commerce empire to efforts across a range of industries: artificial intelligence with Alexa, space travel with Blue Origin, video with Amazon Studios and news with the Washington Post.
