Jeff Bezos is chasing the ghost of Elon Musk, having already beaten him to “space” in a surely heroic effort. He wants to unseat the private space giant, and he wants to do it now, so he’s doubling his time commitment to his Blue Origin project in a bid to be this generation’s first space billionaire explorer hoping to build a space empire that will make him a space trillionaire tycoon.
All praize the Bezos.

Excerpt:
Jeff Bezos has called Blue Origin his life’s most important work – and the hours he is devoting to the space company are growing accordingly.
Historically, Bezos had dedicated Wednesday afternoons to either updates and discussions at Blue Origin, people familiar with the situation told CNBC – meetings which were in person before the Covid pandemic, and have been by phone since. However, within the past month he added Tuesday afternoons as well, those people said.
While Bezos’ increased engagement with the company has been previously reported, just how much he’s involved with Blue Origin has not. As one of the richest people in the world, and still involved at Amazon as the company’s executive chairman, demands on Bezos’ time are high, so spending twice as much time with his space company represents a significant added commitment.
