The latest Twitter feud looks like it's between the richest man in the world and another one of the richest men in the world. GOP favorite Donald Trump tweeted billionaire entrepreneur and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on Dec. 7 with a bone to pick about the Bezos-owned Washington Post, and throwing the innovator some pretty deep and unprompted shade, all while calling Amazon a "no profit company":
The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon.

Bezos' reply? "Finally trashed by @realDonaldTrump. Will reserve him a seat on the Blue Origin rocket," ending with the hashtag "#sendDonaldtospace" and a video clip of the rocket's last launch, which reached an altitude of 329,839 feet (100.5 kilometers or about 62 miles) before its capsule landed in West Texas.
Finally trashed by @realDonaldTrump. Will still reserve him a seat on the Blue Origin rocket. #sendDonaldtospace https://t.co/9OypFoxZk3 — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) December 7, 2015
Bezos' tart rejoinder comes in the wake of his company's successful inaugural launch of the reusable rocket New Shepard earlier this year.
What's more, Trump's insult was enough for Bezos to tweet at him — a seemingly difficult thing for Trump to achieve, considering that Bezos has only tweeted from his personal account four times since he joined in July 2008.
Trump, on the other hand, has had myriad Twitter feuds with famous celebrities over the years, and his personal impetus for them was readily summed up by the billionaire back in 2012.
My twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth.
