Jeff Bezos is one of the world’s billionaires mourning the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Surrounded by Bill Gates and Apple CEO Tim Cook, the Amazon founder took minutes to mark the end of the Queen’s reign.
But it was an earlier tweet directed at Carnegie Mellon University professor Uju Anya that got him into the Twitter war for colonization.
Anne posted an anti-monarchist tweet just hours before the news of the Queen’s death.
Describing the Queen as the head of an “empire of thieves, rape and genocide”, Anne began to rant against the Queen and England.
Citing the post (which has since been removed by Twitter), Bezos said: I don’t think so. Wow. ‘
Unfortunately for Jeff, this opened the door for critics to controversially single out his “Empire.”
Many other commenters noted that Anna de Bezos’s tweet was a coincidence, among the many anti-monarchist views on the platform.

They noted that Anna had previously tweeted her support for unionization at Amazon, something Bezos vehemently disagrees with.
Uju himself also responded to Bezos’s tweet, calling it greedy and ruthless.
Regardless of Bezos’s intentions, the initial tweet sparked a storm of outrage and Twitter took it down after the platform determined it violated standard community rules.
Anna, associate professor of modern languages at the university, writes: May your pain be unbearable.”
Carnegie Mellon University has distanced itself from Twitter, telling the Daily Mail that it “does not tolerate offensive and offensive messages.”
“While freedom of expression is a core part of higher education’s mission, the views you shared do not represent the values of higher education institutions or the standards of discourse we seek to promote,” the spokesperson said.
Bezos’s contemporaries retained more than simple tributes to His Majesty’s death.
Bill Gates writes: My deepest condolences to the royal family and the British people.
Billionaire Tim Cook, CEO of the tech giant Apple, once said, “There is nothing more valuable than dedicating your life to helping others.”
Richard Branson, on the other hand, described the Queen as “a wonderful guide to all who meet her”.
In an obituary posted on his website, Branson wrote:
“The Queen has been a constant presence in public life for as long as I have lived, upholding values, offering grace and being consistent in an ever-changing world.
“I have had the privilege of meeting the Queen on so many occasions and have always been impressed by her strength of spirit and sense of duty. Until the event to be celebrated, the Queen has always had a dignified and stoic presence.
“He was great, very insightful and a great listener, all the qualities of a great leader. He showed interest.
The queen is said to have died peacefully at her bedside in Balmoral, Scotland, with the current King Charles and Princess Anne.
The family, including Princes William, Harry and Edward, sadly missed the opportunity to say goodbye in person, according to the report.
The country entered a formal period of mourning that lasted seven days after the funeral.
