Tesla CEO and Amazon founder vie for dominance of satellite launch market and could influence Nasa plans to return to Moon

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, two tech moguls who have spent years battling it out for supremacy in the space race, seem to have buried the hatchet—at least, publicly. Their friendly exchange on social media following the results of their respective rocket launches marks a possible end to their long-standing rivalry.

They will be sitting on the dais during the swearing-in as Silicon Valley leaders aim to make inroads with Trump, who attacked Big Tech during his first presidency.

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to be joined by friends, family, and major technology firm CEOs when he’s sworn in as the next president of the U.S. on Monday.

After years of delays, the billionaire’s Blue Origin space company launched its New Glenn rocket early Thursday.

The two founders jousted for years. This week, they found each other on X while their rocket companies launched missions with mixed results.

Elon Musk has successfully launched his Starship for the seventh time, just hours after Jeff Bezos tested his rival rocket.
