The world's richest man takes turns to be the richest man. When did Bezos and Musk start to fight?
The two richest people in the world, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Tesla CEO Elon Musk , are fighting over their internet satellite plans .



The dispute began when Musk asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to allow some of its Starlink satellites to move to lower altitudes than originally planned , CNBC reported.

Starlink is a project launched by Musk's SpaceX that provides global high-speed Internet access service through a constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites.

Bezos did not buy into Musk's request, insisting that this altitude would interfere with Amazon's planned launch of the "Kuiper Project" . Not only that, in December last year, Amazon asked FCC Chairman Ajit Pai to limit Starlink to an altitude of 580 kilometers until it was proven that they would not interfere with Amazon's satellites .

Musk was furious. He wrote on social media: " It will take at least a few years for Amazon's satellite system to be operational. It is not beneficial to the public to hinder Starlink now. "



The relationship between the two has become increasingly strained since 2013, when SpaceX attempted to obtain exclusive use of NASA's launch pad, but Blue Origin filed a formal protest with the US government to prevent SpaceX from doing so.


According to Bezos' proposal, he hopes to transform NASA's launch pad into a "commercial spaceport that all aerospace companies can use." But this did not stop Musk at all, and he still got the exclusive right to use it.


Even today, I believe Musk is not convinced by Bezos. Starlink has launched 1,025 Internet satellites and started "limited public testing" last year, with a monthly fee of US$99 and a one-time hardware fee of US$499.


In contrast, the "Kuiper Project" lags significantly behind Starlink in the launch of Internet satellites.
