\n WASHINGTON \u2014 Of all the tech tycoons hauled before Congress on Wednesday to defend their business practices, perhaps the most anticipated app<\/a>earance was that from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.<\/p>\n

But as lawmakers roasted the heads of Google, Apple and Facebook<\/a> over how patriotic they felt and whether they had stolen restaurant reviews from smaller websites, the world\u2019s richest man went largely ignored for the first two hours.<\/p>\n

Appearing via video link as is now custom amid the pandemic, Bezos could be seen nonchalantly snacking and drinking what appeared to be a cup of coffee from his tiny screen on the Zoom call.<\/p>\n

Political pundits watching the antitrust hearing complained that lawmakers hadn\u2019t asked the Amazon founder a single question and it wasn\u2019t until about two hours in that Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) began probing the $180 billion man.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeff Bezos, sitting there doing nothing, just made maybe 300 million dollars or so,\u201d tweeted Farhad Manjoo of The New York Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeff Bezos will probably receive a Prime delivery in the time it takes for representatives to ask him a question,\u201d joked Lauren Goode of WIRED.<\/p>\n

There was inevitable speculation about why members of Congress were more focused on Facebook\u2019s Mark Zuckerberg or Google\u2019s Sundar Pichai than Bezos, who now owns a $23 million DC mansion after purchasing the Washington Post in 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all want invites to coolest parties in DC (low bar) hosted by wealthiest man in world in midst of mother of all mid-life crises,\u201d suggested NYU marketing professor Scott Galloway.<\/p>\n

\u201cEither Bezos is taking a nap or Amazon did a really good job lobbying ahead of this with their DC army,\u201d added Bloomberg\u2019s Emily Chang.<\/p>\n

But the tech tycoon, 56, finally got his time in the spotlight when Jayapal began quizzing him on whether Amazon used data from sellers on its website to launch competing products.<\/p>\n

Bezos, Zuckerberg, Pichai and Apple\u2019s Tim Cook faced a congressional grilling over allegations their companies had become too powerful and they were engaged in behavior designed to to cripple their competitors.<\/p>\n

At one point, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) accused the tech giants of also trying to silence conservative views, rattling off a series<\/a> of examples, including the restricting of the president\u2019s tweets.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
