hey guys what's up it's Charlie here and
today we're going to be looking at the
Elon Musk Jeff Bezos feud explained Elon
Musk and Jeff Bezos are two of the
richest men on the planet but did you
know they're actually in a bit of a feud
right now and have been for many many
years well today we're going to be
explaining this feud seeing the funny
jabs these two have given to each other
and finally we will determine who is
going to win in this battle between
billionaires but first why not subscribe
and press the notification bell tone so
first we should look at who our mosque
and Bezos Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have
been in the news a lot recently that is
because they're two very eccentric
billionaires they both live in the USA
Jeff Bezos is from the USA an Elon Musk
is from South Africa Elon Musk's net
worth is seventeen point nine billion
dollars but that's quite small compared
to Jeff Bezos net worth as he's the
number one richest man in the world his
net worth is a ridiculous 150 billion
dollars Elon Musk made his money making
things like PayPal Tesla and SpaceX well
Jeff Bezos is known for the thing
everyone uses every day amazon.com but
the Musk Bezos feud actually revolves
around another company Jeff owns and
it's not Amazon instead it's his space
company Blue Origin you may not have
heard of before so let's look at how
their feud started well the two first
met in 2004 at this point there was no
conflict between the two billionaires
they met to discuss their respective
space companies Elon Musk had just
launched SpaceX and Bezos had just
launched Blue Origin over very expensive
food and wine they talked Rockets and
going to Mars so that's why the feud
started as they have rival companies but
in 2013 things started to heat up in
this rivalry that is because NASA were
no longer going to be using a launch
complex named 39a this launch pad 39a is
historic launchpad for Space Exploration
so when musk realized 39a was up for
grabs he went for it he actually met
with Obama who was president at the time
and said look how great our Rockets are
he said let's SpaceX useless launchpad
and we'll take space exploration to a
new level
but besos also wanted this launch pad so
he played dirty
he actually launched an official
complaint with the government to stop
Elon Musk getting the launch pad Elon
then publicly called out Jeff Bezos
saying he was using a phony tactic to
block them getting to launchpad but
eventually the government denied your
faces complaint and gave the pad to Elon
Musk
he signed a 20-year deal to have this
launch pad so it's musk 1 Bezos 0 but if
you think things end a fair thing you
would be wrong instead that they only
got worse as a response to losing the
launch pad Bezos tried to stop Elon Musk
making any Rockets he filed a patent for
reusable rockets
this would mean every time SpaceX wanted
to make Avery useful rocket they'd have
to pay Jeff Bezos Millions
and it would mean that Blue Origin
bezos's company would be the only
company allowed to make reusable rockets
for free it's no secret
Elon Musk is very smart and also very
out-there so he did something very very
strange funny and also very smart to
beat this patent Elon Musk tracked down
an old Russian sci-fi movie going back
from 1959 this movie is called the sky
beckons and it's very obscure and nobody
knows about it but Elon tracked it down
and showed in it they had reusable
rockets so he basically proved Jeff
Bezos was not the first person in the
world to think of that idea and because
he presented this evidence it meant
Bezos did not get the patent for a
useful Rockets now even musk was happy
to be winning all of these battles but
he still was kind of annoyed at Jeff for
trying to mess up his rocket company not
once but twice so that's why in an
interview he publicly dissed Jeff Bezos
he did this in a playful way but I can't
help but think there was some anger
behind it secretly in an interview with
the BBC an interviewer said to him
you're very competitive
you're competing with Jeff Bezos in
response alone then shrugged and said
Jeff who of course he was being playful
but I'm sure there's still some serious
rivalry between these two billionaires
Bertie then did it in an even more
public fashion on Twitter in 2015 Blue
Origin landed his first reusable rocket
Jeff Bezos was very pleased with this
and he made a tweet saying if the rarest
of beasts a reused rocket controlled
landing was not easy but when done right
it can look easy but Jeff's bragging did
not last long until Elon Musk replied he
said congrats to Jeff and the Blue
Origin team for achieving this but he
also said there's a big difference
between a space rockets and an orbital
rocket he said what Jeff did needed nine
units of energy but what he needed was
900 that's because Jeff built a space
rocket while Elon built an orbit rocket
so basically Elon said what Jeff did is
100 times less impressive than what he's
doing and then one month later Elon Musk
it did exactly that and brought back his
orbital rocket also in 2019 if there was
another Twitter diss from Elon Musk Jeff
Bezos said he was launching thousands of
satellites into space to get better
internet tower the Elon Musk already has
a company named Starling which was going
to do exactly that
so when Jeff Bezos announced this Elon
Musk put out a tweet saying copycat he
was also sure to put a full-stop before
the app name so that everyone saw this
and embarrassed Jeff clearly Jeff was
now getting quite annoyed so he then
struck back during a private lecture
Bezos took the opportunity to take a dig
at mask he said my friends who want to
move to Mars
I say do me a favor go live on the top
of Mount Everest for a year first and
see if you like that because it's a
garden paradise compared to Mars
basically he was saying alongside ear of
colonizing Mars is way too ambitious and
ridiculous he says that living on Mars
would make living on Mount
wrists seem like a paradise but Elon
Musk is known to think big and find a
way to do what seems impossible so if
anyone can work out a good way to live
on Mars or Mount Everest
I'm sure it's Elon Musk but now let's
look at who will actually win at this
whew
it seems like so far Elon Musk has been
winning after all he won the least for
the launch pad 39a he also fought off
Jeff Bezos trying to patent reusable
rockets and I think he's done many more
public disses - Jeff Bezos than Jeff has
done - Elon however it's clear both men
have some difficulties going on right
now
Elon Musk is being investigated by the
FTC not only that many people are
betting against Tesla to fail every
single American car company in the past
hundred years has gone broke except
Tesla but many say Tesla could be ahead
of its time and will soon go broke
but don't think Jeff basis is life is
problem-free he recently got a divorce
from his wife this is after room is he
actually had an affair with an American
actress
this is wiped out around 1/2 of bases
net worth don't get me wrong he'll still
be crazy rich but will its halt the
growth of Amazon also many big
politicians want to break up big
companies such as Amazon potential
future President Elizabeth Warren vows
to break up Amazon she says it's got way
too big out of control and is a monopoly
so really we're not actually sure who's
going to win this feud Jeff Bezos needs
to make sure he still has lots of money
coming in without his companies being
broken up and Elon Musk needs to make
sure his companies don't go out of
business
but the great thing about this is it's
sparking competition at which will get
humanity further and further into space
many top analysts have predicted that by
2050 we'll have made it to Mars it's
pretty crazy to think that in a few
decades some of us may be living on the
Red Planet
but for now all we can do is sit back
enjoy the popcorn and watch this feud
take place before our very eyes
