Amazon founder Jeff Bezos denies Polymarket post made about his alleged advice

Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos has taken to social media to reply to a post from Polymarket, saying it’s been made up.

On January 22, the prediction market Polymarket posted on X saying: “JUST IN: Jeff Bezos advises aspiring Gen Z entrepreneurs to start at real world jobs like McDonalds or Palantir before starting a business.”

The post has since racked up 5.5 million views, with over 8,700 likes and over 1,300 reposts.

The 62-year-old quickly denied the post though, as he took to his X account to reply to the original Polymarket post with “Nope. Not sure why polymarket made this up.”

Nope. Not sure why polymarket made this up.
