Nah, I think this is Dead Pirate Bezos competitive behaviour. Can't win, litigate. Did the same with Pentagon's JEDI cloud contract. I believe he sees Elon as more of a showboater who lucked into making a few incredibly good hires (Tom Mueller) while he Bezos is the legit engineer / builder.
Bezos made bad hiring decisions (Old Space people with Old Space thinking) and stuck to it for too long, and is now wedded to it (New Glenn infrastructure, BE4 engine contract) for the forseeable future. Hard to unwind without writing everything off.
So Amazon's Project Kuiper is now on the fast track, but he cannot roll it out anytime soon. Another defeat. It must have shocked Bezos to see Falcon 9s being launched once every 9 DAYS mostly with Starlink sats in the past few months.
This is kind of like the Amazon's Fire Phone debacle, but bigger.
Every single day is some kind of new bullshit while we're waiting for something to happen. 10 billion dollars. I'm sure everyone will get their cut for his gratitude.
This has to be a joke, surely in the current political climate, would our government "bail out" the RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD?
This cannot be true?
Are these people INSANE?
This is one of those things thay convinces me its all being orchestrated to red pill people

Bezos = CIA Musk = DIA
They wouldn't be billionaires if that had to play by the same rules as everyone else. Private profits, socialized losses.
"Private profits, socialized losses".... I like that phrase. Sums up SO MUCH of this country right now.
I think we all know the answer to that fren, these people are stupid.
