The world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, looks like a specific alien race from the original Star Trek series. I’m not the only one to notice this. In fact, South Park had an entire storyline about everybody going to work at an Amazon fulfillment center and their interpretation of Bezos was as a bulbous, pulsating-headed Talosian.
