  • The criticism followed Warren’s X post saying Bezos could afford higher taxes after reportedly spending $10 million to sponsor Monday’s Met Gala.
  • Conservative commentators and Senator Mike Lee challenged her claims, citing estimates Bezos paid about $2.7 billion in 2024 taxes and questioning what rate Warren considers a fair share.
  • Critics also tied the row to Warren’s broader wealth-tax agenda and to fallout from Spirit Airlines’ collapse after she opposed JetBlue’s 2024 takeover bid.
