Amazon blocks Grok bots; Musk jokes about starting an Amazon competitor

After a user reported that Amazon is blocking Grok bots, @XFreeze joked that while a normal CEO would contact Amazon to resolve it, Elon Musk's move would be to build an Amazon competitor. Musk himself quote-tweeted with "Maybe we should start a competitor to Amazon 🤔", leaning into his trademark founding-a-new-company response to platform disputes.
