The rivalry between Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos is now extending to the moon
- ryzvonusef 5y agoThe rivalry between Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos already was intense. Now it’s extending to the moon. In a flier distributed on Capitol Hill last week, Elon Musk’s SpaceX warned that legislation now being considered would reward “Jeff Bezos with a $10 billion sole-source hand-out” that would tie up NASA’s moon plans and hand “space leadership to China.” Bezos’s Blue Origin space company countered quickly and forcefully. “Lie.” “Lie.” “Lie,” it said of each of the allegations in SpaceX’s paper, adding: “What is Elon Musk afraid of ... a little competition?” (Bezos owns The Washington Post.)
