A university professor wished Queen Elizabeth II an “excruciating” death — and she was promptly slammed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Uju Anya, an associate professor of second language acquisition at Carnegie Mellon University, wrote in a tweet on Thursday.
She tweeted, “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying,” “May her pain be excruciating.”
The world’s third-richest man, Jeff Benzo then quoted Anya’s tweet and wrote: “This is someone supposedly working to make the world better?”
The back-and-forth came as the 96-year-old monarch was under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, and less than an hour before Buckingham Palace officially announced that Queen Elizabeth had died at 96.

Anya also doubled down in a response to Bezos posted just minutes after Elizabeth’s death was confirmed, writing: “May everyone you and your merciless greed have harmed in this world remember you as fondly as I remember my colonizers.”
