With out Bezo’s name recognition very, very few would have heard about Slate and their little pickup/SUV. That’s a level of advertisement that money simply can’t buy as a startup. We certainly wouldn’t be talking about them without Bezos’ name being attached to them. And they certainly wouldn’t have access to the investors and financial doors his name can easily open.

I would guess he’s thinking money. Design, production line, and legal are all going to be extremely expensive. Bezos is a name and face but if you replace his name with JP Morgan Chase, BNY Mellon , Blackrock, etc is there really that big of a difference. The large financial institutions have done far more for far longer to people all around the world
