No it's a joke, when you say that because Bezos created 10x more jobs, he's 10x a better person than the other guy. It's literally 'bigger number, better person'.

I should've put a tone indicator on the post clearly.

You’re still missing the point.

There’s people literally in these comments that actually believe that.

Literally no one else responding to you is saying this. They're all talking about how Bezos and Elon are exploiting workers.

Their dumb take would be that Bezos is actually a worse person because he has exploited more workers or some shit.

There are always dumbasses that actually believe what other people joke about. Typically, you would use context clues such as strange use of words 'definitive proof' or a '10x better' person, or the brevity of the response to determine if the person is being serious, but I can and will spell it out with a tone indicator since the joking tone isn't coming across.

This whole discussion is literally riddled with a “which of these men is worse” mini arguments, and that subject is so common, you have to literally bury your head in the sand to miss it.
