										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following Elon Musk&#8217;s $44 billion buyouts of Twitter Inc., Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos offered a daring question: could this make things tough for Tesla Inc. in China? Bezos brought attention to Tesla&#8217;s tight relations with China, the world&#8217;s largest electric car market and home to the company&#8217;s first overseas facility, in a series of tweets. The year before, the Shanghai facility produced around half of the company&#8217;s worldwide cars, and Musk has indicated that number might quadruple this year.</p>
<p>After work hours, a spokesperson from Musk&#8217;s family office did not immediately reply to a request for comment. In just one of his first tweets following the take-private transaction, Musk defended free expression on the internet. Officials in China, meanwhile, have banned Twitter, as well as most other American social media platforms, due to concerns about the influence on public debate.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeff Bezos, the richest person on the planet, blasted off for space Tuesday aboard a Blue Origin rocket on its first human flight, the company&#8217;s live broadcast showed.</p>
<p>The rocket lifted off from a base in the west Texas desert at approximately 8:12 am local time (1312 GMT) after a brief hold.</p>
<p>The capsule touched down in the west Texas desert after breaching the boundary of space, the company&#8217;s live broadcast showed.</p>
<p>The spaceship floated down on three giant parachutes before firing a retro thruster, sending up a cloud of sand as it gently landed at one or two miles (kilometers) an hour.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeff Bezzos is about to start his next career stage, leaving a lasting legacy after Amazon became one of the world&#8217;s most powerful companies from a tiny online book seller. Bezos, aged 57, had been set out to shift his focus to his private company, philanthropy and other activities and give over the position of Amazon CEO on Monday to Andy Jassy. However, as Chairman of the giant of technology and e-commerce that he created 27 years ago, he will maintain a vital role.</p>
<p>The change follows a phenomenal Amazon streak which has brought attention to its inventions.</p>
