Musk tweeted: "This is insane @JeffBezos." He added in another tweet: "Time to break up Amazon. Monopolies are wrong!" Musk added in a second tweet.

Musk does not have the legal authority to break up Amazon.

While Amazon chose to look beyond Musk’s call for dissolution, the tech giant responded to the complaint and said the book in question, by author Alex Berenson, had been blocked in error and was now available for sale via its Kindle e-reading service.
