South Lake Union pedestrians were surprised by a strange voice when they were waiting to cross Denny Way and Fairview Avenue on Wednesday morning.

Someone hacked Seattle's crosswalk buttons into tiny speakers of truth, making them spit out messages "from Jeff Bezos" that accidentally said the quiet part loud about wealth inequality. The digital prankster programmed multiple crosswalks around Amazon's mothership in South Lake Union to deliver a pitch-perfect parody of our favorite space-cowboy billionaire begging peasants not to tax his mountain of gold earned through exploiting workers.

Five beg buttons—three in the University District, one close to South Lake Union, and another in Wedgwood—were hacked to sound a lot like Amazon CEO and wannabe space cowboy, Jeff Bezos. Push the button and instead of a robotic voice saying "wait," an AI Bezos opined about a wealth tax.
