Why you think giving what is basically unlimited power to an individual instead of a governing body that at least on paper is accountable to its citizens boggles the mind. Celebrity/Wealth worship has truly gotten out of hand.

That's his point. Bezos doesn't have unlimited power. The government does. Bezos can't go off and just start a war. Bezos can't throw you in prison and keep you there. Bezos can't take a chunk of your paycheck involuntarily.
I think plenty of people would rather see the guy that has a good online store get the money vs. the people dropping bombs on various countries and imprisoning large swaths of our population.
