This Wednesday, Amazon.Com IncProtested to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the hope that FCC would reject SpaceX's plan to develop a second-generation "Starlink" satellite network, saying it was too broad and speculative and violated FCC rules on satellite deployment. Prior to this, in order to improve network coverage and speed, SpaceX submitted an application to FCC to build a second-generation "chain" satellite network of nearly 30, 000 satellites.
In response, Musk made fun of Bezos today.TwitterWith all the signs, Bezos seems to be retiring in pursuit of another full-time job: suing SpaceX, it said. Musk also misspelled Bezos's name in this tweet. The correct spelling should be "Bezos", while Musk wrote "Besos".
On July 6 this year, Bezos officially stepped down as CEO of Amazon.Com Inc and was succeeded by Andy Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon.Com Inc's Amazon Web Services business.
Recently, there has been a lot of friction between Blue Origin, a space exploration technology company owned by Bezos, and SpaceX, a space exploration technology company owned by Musk. The reason is that in April, NASA awarded SpaceX a nearly $2.9 billion contract to build a spacecraft that would send astronauts to the lunar surface as early as 2024.
Blue Origin expressed dissatisfaction with this, saying that NASA went against the intention of using multiple suppliers and failed to give other companies the opportunity to re-evaluate their bidding costs. To this end, Blue Origin filed a lawsuit with the Government Accountability Office, a US government regulator, hoping to overturn NASA's decision.
But earlier this month, the Government Accountability Office rejected Blue Origin's complaint, saying NASA did not violate procurement laws or regulations. The Blue Origin still did not give up and appealed to the United States Federal Court of claims on August 16.
