Tesla Inc. and SpaceX Chief Executive Officer Musk said it’s “time to break up Amazon” in a tweet on Thursday after the online retail giant behemoth rejected a book that struck a sceptical note about the coronavirus pandemic.


Berenson, a former The New York Times reporter who covered pharmaceutical , has criticised models used by epidemiologists to predict the course of coronavirus outbreaks in the U.S.

Amazon is the largest bookseller in the U.S., controlling nearly 50 percent of the printed book market and over 75 percent of ebook sales

Amazon has been censoring or removing books that it deems as advancing coronavirus conspiracy theories.
