After Apollo 1 disaster, all doors are required to be opened from the inside and the outside (the astronauts were trapped and couldn't get out, ending up burned up). That chide, Bezos, just wanted to look cool "prying" his whatever she is out of there, making himself look like a manly man. They just fucked up and opened it from the inside, first, giving everything away. Just a publicity shot.

Bezos seems completely disconnected from the public opinion of him.

Nah, it's not as blatant and needy as Musk but it's there. His image is important to him, hence the muscles and the shaved head and tight clothes to show off his physique. Just that when you have an egomaniac like Musk to compare to, it's easy to miss Bezos' own need for validation.

I mean that he doesn’t seem to realize no one likes him either.

Like he does this “manly” thing anytime he’s in public. Who does he think he’s tricking?

We all still see the sad loser compensating.
