Bezos + ICE = Uh-Oh
There’s a group called Everyone Hates Elon (awesome name, right?) and they are NOT fans of Jeff Bezos - or at least not his Amazon ties. They threw shade on how Amazon’s tech helps ICE track immigrants. Yep, that sparked a bunch of funky posters in NYC that made Bezos look like an ICE agent. Talk about a guest appearance no one asked for!
Party Like It’s 1939 (Not in a Good Way)
More notorious posters from Everyone Hates Elon compared the Met Gala’s billionaire vibes to the shady politics of 1939. Their slogan was a savage clapback: “Democracy is so last season.” Basically, a fancy dress party but make it political drama!
Amazon Worker’s Message to Bezos’ Penthouse
On Bezos’ fancy rooftop, a big video popped up featuring Mary Hill, a 72-year-old Amazon warehouse worker. Spoiler: she’s fighting cancer and living paycheck to paycheck. Mary called out the Met Gala for hyping Bezos instead of workers and threw shade about taxes and politics. The screen wasn’t just for show - it was a mic drop moment.
Livia Firth’s Feisty Call-Out
Livia Firth brought the receipts. In a fiery Instagram video, she labeled Bezos as one of the “most unethical people” out there. She roasted both him and the Met Gala chair for cozying up to billionaire cash, saying the whole thing felt like a Hunger Games episode but with fancier outfits. Yikes, right?
The Great Urine Bottle Invasion
Get this: Right before the red carpet rolled out, hundreds of bottles filled with fake pee were sneaked into the museum! Yep, a cheeky stunt meant to spotlight claims that Amazon workers sometimes can’t take bathroom breaks and end up using bottles. They even left empty bottles outside with snarky signs about Bezos. Classy? Maybe not. Hilarious? Totally.
