The timing of this shuffle does not look great for Bezos, who has been trying to compete with Musk in what many call the “billionaire space race.”Blue Origin, his company, sent a spaceship up this month with Star Trek star William Shatner aboard. This stunt could not compete with SpaceX’s contracts. Musk also tweeted a silver medal from Bezos.
Social media has seen angry reactions to headlines about ultra-wealthy. Musk is often criticised for not giving more philanthropy to his workers than billionaires and for mistreating them while he makes money. Many people tweeted sardonic jokes about Musk’s work ethic and how they could use that money. Visualizations and analogies explaining how that money relate to real-life metrics began to circulate,And were all the more alarming given the current climate in the labor market.
CNBC reports that Musk has promised to give away $150 million by 2021, which is approximately 0.65 percent of his net worth. It is not clear if Musk will increase this amount from his new net worth.
