Singer Dionne Warwick called out Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Twitter on July 21 for thanking his workers and customers for funding his trip to space, BET reported. Bezos made the statement during a press conference.

Bezos said in the press conference that Amazon employees and customers funded his space trip.

The statement raised eyebrows as he was accused of not paying his workers a livable wage. He also has

a net worth of more than $209 billion dollars, according to Forbes.

“I also want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you guys paid for all of this,” said Bezos.

Warwick wondered why Bezos would make such a dumb statement.

“Why did he make a truly dumb statement like this? I don’t get what he expected from those employed at Amazon! I know it couldn’t have been a YAY!! Shame on you, Mr. Bezos…🤡,” Warwick wrote.

Twitter agreed with Warwick.

The former exec flew to space on July 20, according to the Associated Press.

The Amazon founder is also the owner of Blue Origin, a private aerospace manufacturer. Bezos flew to space on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket along with his brother and 82-year-old Wally Funk. Funk was

one of the few women who completed the astronaut training program in the 1960s, per Reuters.

Also on board was Oliver Daemen, 18, who was selected to replace the anonymous person who paid $28 million for the only ticket Bezos sold for the space flight. The flight lasted for ten minutes.

Billionaire Richard Branson beat Bezos to space nine days earlier with a rocket made by his spaceflight company, Virgin Galactic. Prior to Bezos and Branson, astronauts employed by the U.S. federal government’s space program agency, NASA, were the only Americans able to travel to space.

The That’s What Friends Are For singer will be going a tour beginning this October.
