{Disarmed} Suing SpaceX as a full-time job: Elon Musk lashes out at Jeff Bezos in their particular space war
"Filing legal action against SpaceX is really his full-time job," Elon Musk has lashed out at Jeff Bezos and the new lawsuit he has filed with authorities regarding SpaceX's operations in space. Both billionaires behind SpaceX and Blue Origin / Amazon compete for similar goals, the battle however lately is more raging in the courts and not in space.
Satellite Internet is the latest battle between Amazon and SpaceX . While SpaceX expands its Starlink network in orbit, Amazon has its own Project Kupier with the same idea in mind and wants to put more than 3,000 satellites in orbit . Amazon recently asked the FCC (US communications regulator) to dismiss the Starlink Gen2 amendment. Journalist Michael Sheetz had access to Amazon's lawsuit , where they argue that SpaceX does not detail key aspects of how it wants to place the new satellites in orbit.
SpaceX's response? Endless complaints and arguments about how Amazon / Blue Origin focuses more on litigation against SpaceX than on developing its own products . Different references are made in the response to how Amazon and Blue Origin are especially focused on suing SpaceX. According to SpaceX, "the Amazon family of companies" uses this tactic to make up for its lack of progress in its own products. That is, as a strategy to buy time by making it difficult for SpaceX to develop itself.
The war is obviously not just about Starlink. It also involves, for example, the demand from Blue Origin for the construction of NASA's next lunar lander . A lander that was going to be run by SpaceX but has now been paused while it is being resolved in court whether or not it was fair for NASA to award the contract to SpaceX instead of Blue Origin.

Following the retirement of Jeff Bezos from Amazon as CEO, he has moved to focus on Blue Origin. In reference to this, Elon Musk says that Jeff Bezos now has a full-time job to sue SpaceX . This fight between the two billionaires however comes from further afield.
A year ago Elon Musk threw one of the first poison darts at Jeff Bezos in public, calling Amazon a monopoly . Since then the companies of both have not stopped fighting on their own to win the new space race . Meanwhile another billionaire, Bill Gates, thinks it's fun what they do, "because you launch rockets into the air."
