Only 100 km up, no orbit. Kind of neat and I wouldn't turn down a chance to do it, but travel to space to me means something quite different than this.

Sounds appropriate for New Shepard

Reading your comment prompted me to search 'where does "space" begin' and I learned of the Kármán Line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kármán_line

I don't understand why a person would risk their life. Why not first establish a series of successful flights without humans first, and then with humans?

New Shepard has flown 14 times successfully without any failures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Shepard#Full_flight_list

Won't find me getting into any dangerous vehicles that have only been tested 14 times!

Heh, I wonder if his CEO insurance policy(ies?) forbid activities such as this, but Chairman has no such restrictions

Not sure about insurance but I think it is not a coincidence that he does this after stepping down as CEO

If a horrible accident occurs, will the rate of descent of the wreckage exceed the rate of descent of Amazon’s stock price?

He's not CEO, I don't see what it will change other than kneejerk reactions and news-bot trading.

infact, other than antidemocratic messagin increasing, very little will change about amazons profit taking culture.
