© Provided by Mashable Twitter thinks it knows why Jeff Bezos stepped down as Amazon CEO
“Jeff Bezos had one of his minions, a mentally unbalanced middle-aged man called Erik Wemple, pull our dusty college yearbook and call around and see if we’d done anything naughty at the age of 19,” Carlson told viewers on Tuesday evening. He went on to claim that “quite a few old college classmates” had reached out to him, saying Wemple, a media columnist for the Post, had contacted.

By now, you've probably read all the headlines and maybe even a few news stories about Jeff Bezos stepping down from his throne as CEO of Amazon to serve as its executive chairman instead.
Bezos released a letter explaining the move that I retained absolutely none of — mostly because I got bored halfway through. In it, he mentions that as executive chair, he'll 'stay engaged in important Amazon initiatives' and intends 'to focus [his] energies and attention on new products and early initiatives.'
Of course, he left out the only tidbit of information I was interested in; the reason I read the letter to begin with: an explanation as to why he decided to make the switch.
But have no fear because that's what social media is for: spewing absolute nonsense in 280 characters or less with no repercussions (for the most part).
The minute Bezos dropped the news, people on Twitter immediately made their baseless conspiracy theories known.

And while we don't have a final answer as to why Bezos made the move, we do have some pretty insane (okay, mostly silly) theories to fall back on in the meantime.
According to these tweets, Jeff Bezos is either off to become a superhero, or a super villain, or ... both? Paging DC Extended Universe.

I would also step down as CEO if it meant I got to roll around and maybe dive into my billions like some bald-headed Scrooge McDuck.
