Well that's a relief.

"Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that there is an alien’s face in Bezos' neck,"

I think I'd be a little irritated to be one of the people whose money paid for this.

"Nor a reptile." I'm doubtful.

Article designed to make conspiracy theorists look dumb.

“USA TODAY could find no scientific evidence that it's possible for reptiles or aliens to mask themselves as humans.”

So did they like... Search the literature?

I don't know what he is, but he admitted on video that he is not a human any longer.

"Of course, that's what THEY'd say!"

It might be fun to laugh at conspiracy theories concerning aliens and reptiles, but in saying the above, conspiracy theorists do have a point, and there's also a lesson that's applicable in general, which I can summarise as:

Fact checking (or any kind of fact serving) is worth shit if it's done by someone with (or which serves) interests counter to you.

For the same reason you shouldn't hire a lawyer recommended to you by the person that you're suing.

Until he provides a non-falsifiable evidence in form of his DNA and that it was taken from him spcifically, so that it can be sequenced and compared we shouldn't believe such broad claims like that.
