Alex Jones misread a headline about Jeff Bezos's charity donations, confusing 0.1% with 0.01%.

What's going on here is that Alex misread the headline in Vox that he's trying to cover, which said that Bezos gave 0.1% of his wealth to charity in 2018. But, in the headline, this is visualized as 0.1, so Alex just moved the decimal point. He didn't realize how big of a difference moving that decimal point is.
