Polymarket post sparks public rebuttal from Jeff Bezos

[cryptoenthusiast]

Prediction market Polymarket has drawn criticism after publishing a social media post claiming Amazon founder Jeff Bezos advised young entrepreneurs to work at companies like McDonald’s or Palantir before starting a business.

Bezos publicly denied the claim hours later, replying on X that he never made such a statement and questioned why Polymarket had “made this up.” His response quickly drew attention, as it is rare for the billionaire to directly rebut a specific online claim.

A video later surfaced of Bezos speaking at Italian Tech Week months earlier, where he offered general advice about gaining experience at “best practices” companies — but he did not reference the employers cited by Polymarket.

not surprised prediction markets are shady on socials, they’re basically clickbait for gambling
