> But by framing it as a conspiracy that they work together, you can now dismiss that the fact that the activity is actually happening by simply saying that there’s no proof they are working together and that it’s just a conspiracy theory.
So basically, it's a straw man. Concoct a story where it's being done in a smoke-filled back room, then say it can't be true because neither Bezos or Musk are smokers.
Though I do wonder if there's a more indirect conspiracy going on. Business elites all have the same interest to oppose unions: maybe they don't often get together in smoke-filled back rooms, but they can pump money into the same anti-union think tanks and consultancies, which could have a similar effect.
Bezos and musk don’t have to conspire together to oppose unions and squash them. They both gladly do it on their own and would do so without needing to conspire.
