Jeff Bezos said he is “very optimistic” about Donald Trump's space program.
He also said he has no interest in a relationship with Elon Musk.
Jeff Bezos, owner of aerospace company Blue Origin, expressed optimism Sunday about the incoming Trump administration's space policy and is not concerned about the president-elect's alliance with rival Elon Musk. He emphasized.
“Elon has made it very clear that he's doing this for the public good, not for personal gain. And I take him at face value,” Bezos said. he told Reuters, later adding that he was “very optimistic” about President-elect Trump's space policy.
Mr. Bezos and Mr. Musk, owners of SpaceX and Tesla, have clashed repeatedly in public in recent years over their apparently different personalities and political supporters.
Musk's critics and government watchdog groups expressed concern last year that he was trying to use his growing influence under the Trump administration to stifle competitors of his technology ventures. The billionaire later suggested he would not exploit his relationship with the president-elect to boost his competitiveness.
Bezos said he believes the United States should go to the moon and Mars.
Asked if he was concerned about changes to NASA's moon program, Bezos said: “My own opinion is we should do both. We need to go to the moon, we need to go to Mars. There is,” he said.
“What we shouldn't do is start or stop things. We should definitely continue with our moon plans,” Bezos said.
