Is this actually a strategy that is more common now? Trump is famous for this - he does outrageous things and then throws someone under the bus. That person leaves, they take all the reputational damage, Trump continues. Maybe Bezos and other billionaires are looking at Trump and thinking “Maybe I should go that far as well”?

Yes if there’s anything Trump has been known for since the 80s it’s his sterling positive reputation and putting others in the spotlight.

C’mon… there’s no reason to hallucinate information like ChatGPT circa 2022.

It still does that today, unfortunately. A smart man does not trust an LLM further than he can throw it.

Ever watched literally any mob movie ever?

You're describing classic criminal enterprise org management.

It's such a typical pattern that RICO statutes have a specific mechanism ("vicarious liability") to still go after criminal leaders when they engage in this behavior.
