Losing $1,000,000,000,000, that sort of money does not register to me so when i read this... Wow, just wow

Amazon becomes first company in history to lose $1,000,000,000,000

And they are not alone, several other big companies are hemorrhaging money like there is no tomorrow.

Neither Mark Zuckerberg nor Elon Musk have been doing very well lately, either.

Yes, both a few billion down over the year

The number in the OP is too low.

Crypto peaked a year ago — investors have lost more than $2 trillion since

My conservatism about investing in hot air paid off. Total investment $0. Total loss $0. Of course using 20-20 vision I could have gotten out at the top but knowing me the odds are not good for that, vanishing small actually.

When one runs a business, one discovers that
survival is not guaranteed. Even when it doesn't
feel like it, the wolves are at the door. Failure
typically arrives precisely because it's not noticed.

Good. I hope both of those toxic vampires meander into bankruptcy through their own overconfidence.

...& all their employees lose their jobs.

Such large corporations can survive well beyond their CEOs' and owners' financial status. They would probably either be sold or otherwise moved to someone else's control.

Bankruptcy often sees the court impose policies
designed to keep the company afloat. This includes
firing people. That's a bad thing to want.
Better to wish pancreatic cancer on the specific
people you loathe....not wishing woe unto employees
& stockholders.

They have already fired thousands of employees.

I wish cancer on no one, though.

Maybe he left it in his pants pocket and it got thrown in the washer. That's happened to me on occasion.

And now Jeff Bezos is going to live in a tiny house and ride a bicycle.
Nope, he wouldn't even feel it. That "lost" money wasn't there in the first place, it was all just hot air, no real value coupled to it.

I do like SpaceX, though.

How does this relate to my not
wanting even more fired?

Better that the target of your ire
be the only one to suffer, than
collaterals.
And even his company went
bankrupt, he'd still be a billionaire.
Your vendetta would only hurt
innocents.
So targeted cancer...that's the best.

As do I. It's success redefined the launch business.

Democrats will bail them out with endless fiat money. To big to fail and all that.

It all went to that massive yacht party in international waters.

What does mere pocket change have to do with it?

Could you afford to lose 40% of your pocket change?

Ehm, international losses for international companies. Im not sure dems will bail out amazon.ru or Amazon.in
