On October 15, 2025, Marjorie Taylor Greene engaged in a purchase transaction involving shares of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). The transaction amount ranged between $1,001 and $15,000. Amazon, a global leader in e-commerce and cloud computing, is known for its vast array of services, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), which plays a crucial role in digital infrastructure worldwide.
Recently, AWS experienced a significant outage that disrupted global internet connectivity, affecting operations across thousands of platforms. This incident highlighted the world's heavy reliance on a limited number of cloud providers. AWS has since restored its systems, but the event underscores the critical role Amazon's cloud network plays in global digital infrastructure.
In addition to its cloud services, Amazon is advancing its automation efforts with the introduction of robots named Sparrow, Cardinal, and Proteus. These robots are gradually taking over tasks traditionally performed by human workers in Amazon's warehouses. This move is part of Amazon's broader strategy to enhance efficiency and reduce reliance on human labor in its operations.
