Jeff Bezos said he is “very optimistic” about Donald Trump’s space agenda.
He also said that he is not concerned with Elon Musk’s relationship with Elon Musk.
Jeff Bezos, owner of aerospace company Blue Origin, expressed optimism about the incoming Trump administration’s space policy, emphasizing Sunday he is not concerned about competitor Elon Musk’s allyship with the president-elect.
“Elon has been very clear that he’s doing this for the public interest and not for his personal gain. And I take him at face value,” Bezos told Reuters, adding later he is “very optimistic” about President-elect Trump’s space policy.
Bezos and Musk, the owner of SpaceX and Tesla, have repeatedly clashed in the public eye in recent years over their decidedly different personalities and political viewers.
Musk’s critics and government watchdogs raised concerns last year that Musk would try to use his growing influence in Trump’s orbit to suppress competitors of his own technology ventures, though the billionaire later suggested he would not abuse his relationship with the president-elect to benefit his competitive standing.
Bezos said he believes the US should go to the Moon and Mars.
“My own opinion is that we should do both – we need to go to the moon and we should go to Mars,” Bezos said, when asked if he was concerned about changes to NASA’s moon program.
“What we shouldn’t do is start and stop things. We should continue with the lunar program for sure,” Bezos said.
