Elon Musk is estimated to be worth $195 billion.
In 2022, Jeff Bezos has managed to amass a fortune of 171 billion dollars.
Bezos was one of the big businessmen who benefited from the financial effects generated by the Covid-19.
Elon Musk continues to talk about and all this after recently reviving his longstanding feud with billionaire rival Jeff Bezos, after suggesting the Amazon founder has a habit of copying his business moves.
It is no secret to anyone that both Musk and Bezos are two influential figures in the tech industry and around the world, since the two men are on the list of the most millionaires and have important companies with a great global presence.
In this new controversy, Musk took a sarcastic jab at the Amazon founder in response to a tweet from controversial techie Kim Dotcom, who accused Bezos of mimicking Musk’s forays into burgeoning sectors of the economy.
“Elon builds rockets, Jeff copies Elon. Elon builds electric cars, Jeff copies. Elon builds a brain-computer link, Jeff copies Elon…with [el fundador de Microsoft, Bill Gates]who copied [el fundador de Amazon] Steve Jobs,” Dotcom wrote.
To that, Musk responded “maybe it’s a coincidence”adding a shrug emoji.
The sarcastic tweet marked the latest back-and-forth between Musk and Bezos, who developed a rough relationship in public as they clashed over their business interests.
In the dotcom post he also referenced Bezos’s participation, along with Gates, in a $75 million fundraising round for brain computing firm Synchron. Musk is a co-founder of Neuralink and a leading proponent of the potential of brain implants, even vowing to place a chip inside his own head once the technology is ready for human use.

Let’s remember that the two billionaires lead an unprecedented private space race, with his companies SpaceX from Musk and Blue Origin from Bezoswhich are competing for federal contracts and to establish themselves as the world’s leading space tourism companies.
In between that trade fight, separately, Amazon launched Project Kuiper, an initiative to build a “constellation” of Internet satellites to compete with SpaceX’s Starlink system.
When Amazon first announced the Kuiper Project in 2019, Musk tweeted that Bezos was a “imitator”.
For its part, last year Blue Origin was involved in an unsuccessful legal battle in which it accused NASA of improperly awarding a lunar landing contract to SpaceX.
While Musk serves as CEO of automaker Tesla, which has built a commanding lead in the electric vehicle market, Amazon bought autonomous taxi startup Zoox from Bezos for $1.2 billion in 2020.
The business couple also compete in the media space, as Bezos owns the Washington Post and Musk owns and runs Twitter. On that front, Bezos was the first, buying the newspaper in 2013.
Their feud has occasionally spilled over into more insignificant territory. In September, Musk publicly criticized the expensive series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” from Amazon, stating that the author of the book series, JRR Tolkien was “turning in his grave” over the e-commerce giant’s interpretation of his work.
