        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elon Musk&#8217;s hiatus from Twitter didn&#8217;t last long.</p><p>Just three days after announcing that he was &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1267650659320500226">off Twitter for a while,</a>&#8221; Musk was back on the platform saying that it&#8217;s &#8220;time to break up Amazon.&#8221;</p><p>The Tesla CEO&#8217;s outburst came <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1268529570480824320">in response to a Thursday tweet</a> from former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson, who complained that Amazon&#8217;s Kindle Direct Publishing service had refused to publish his book &#8220;Unreported Truths About COVID-19 and Lockdowns.&#8221;</p><p>Musk responded by tagging Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1268602138860515328?s=20">in a tweet</a> and calling the decision &#8220;insane.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Time to break up Amazon,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Monopolies are wrong!&#8221;</p><p>Berenson had posted a screenshot of an email from Amazon where it said that his book &#8220;does not comply with our guidelines.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;It is based entirely on published government data and scientific papers,&#8221; Berenson said. &#8220;It doesn’t say coronavirus isn’t real or doesn’t kill people (in fact, the worst-case death toll is likely to be striking to people). And Amazon won’t run it.&#8221;</p><p>Musk has previously called the coronavirus pandemic &#8220;<strong>dumb</strong>,&#8221; and <strong>railed against California lawmakers</strong> when his Fremont factory was forced to shut down under shelter-in-place orders.</p><p>It&#8217;s also not the first time that Musk has used Twitter to a jab at the world&#8217;s richest man on Twitter. Last spring, Musk poured some rocket fuel on his rivalry with Bezos — whose Blue Origin rocket company is rivals with Musk&#8217;s SpaceX — <strong>calling the Amazon CEO a copycat</strong> for his plan to launch a network of 3,000 internet satellites.</p><p>Neither Amazon nor Tesla responded to The Post&#8217;s request for comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
