Tesla CEO Elon Musk has slammed the world’s richest man once more.
SpaceX is Musk’s own space exploration enterprise, while Blue Origin is led by Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos. Both companies are frequently in rivalry for federal contracts in the United States. Blue Origin recently sued NASA after losing a contract to Musk’s SpaceX. Blue Origin has filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) about SpaceX’s satellite internet deployment plan, Starlink.

The FCC has been urged by Amazon to deny SpaceX the chance to create a second-generation Starlink network. SpaceX, according to Amazon, would be in violation of the regulator’s standards in this regard. Amazon intends to build its own satellite internet network. The system, known as Project Kuiper, has yet to take off. Starlink, on the other hand, has 1,700 satellites in orbit and serves 100,000 users worldwide.According to a report by PCMag, SpaceX wants to improve download speeds and is seeking clearance from FCC for its second-generation Starlink network. Amazon has alleged that the plan is too speculative in nature and breaks FCC’s rules.
Amazon has not filed a formal complaint, but rather a letter of protest. As a result, Musk’s tweet is more of a jab against Bezos than anything else.
