this is way too easy, but ok. you said he "makes his bucks by government contracts for his side business AWS which runs the internet":
1) most of his bucks are made through other parts of his business. you could have said he makes some of his bucks, but did not.
2) AWS does not run the internet. they are one of several major cloud service providers. other large players include Microsoft, IBM, Google, etc.
3) i don't have precise numbers handy, but i know that most of AWS's revenue is not from government contracts. i would also point out that i am not aware of a major technology provider in this country that does not have government contracts. and finally, i would point out that the current administration gave a significant dod contract to microsoft over AWS, though the dod's office of inspector general questioned the integrity of that decision.
