Jeff Bezos will soon become a meme: netizens compare the billionaire with Stonks
If famous people are not joked about on the Internet, the first place on the Forbes list means nothing. For example, Elon Musk was already a hero of memes, but Jeff Bezos wasn’t, so it’s his turn now. He became the new hero of jokes after netizens noticed that he looked like the hero of the popular meme Stonks.
Who is Stonks?
Memes about Stonks appeared in 2014, but became popular about a year ago. A template for jokes was a picture of a 3D model of a person standing against the background of a table with a stock chart. This meme is used when someone makes a knowingly unprofitable investment.
Why did Jeff Bezos become the hero of memes?
Netizens have noticed that Jeff and Stonks are very similar. There will be a lot of memes featuring Jeff very soon, so catch the wave.
