Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are two of the most influential entrepreneurs of the 21st century, and their rivalry is rooted in both business and ideology. Bezos, founder of Amazon and aerospace company Blue Origin, initially led the private space race. Musk, CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, entered the scene later but quickly gained ground with bold ambitions to colonize Mars and drastically reduce space travel costs.

Their rivalry intensified in the 2010s, particularly over space exploration. While both aim to make humanity multiplanetary, their approaches differ—Bezos advocates gradual expansion with reusable rockets and lunar missions, while Musk pushes for rapid innovation and Mars colonisation. Publicly, the two have traded jabs on social media and in interviews, often critiquing each other’s technology and vision.

The competition extended beyond space. Musk overtook Bezos as the world’s richest person multiple times, fueling media comparisons and public interest. Their divergent leadership styles—Bezos’ methodical, corporate strategy versus Musk’s high-risk, engineering-driven approach—further highlight their contrast.

Despite their animosity, both have accelerated innovation in space and technology. Their rivalry has driven advancements and captured global attention, symbolising the clash of visionaries shaping the future of humanity on Earth—and beyond. Now you can join their journey’s too by picking a side and supporting their ascendancy as part of Team Musk or Team Bezos.
