The world's richest man Jeff Bezos is copycat said by Elon Musk on twitter.
Musk is
calling Bezos a copycat because Amazon is planning to launch more than 3,000
internet satellites in the orbit and as his other company SpaceX had announced
similar plans back in February. Musk didn’t elaborate in his tweet about
anything and interestingly just wrote copy and used the cat emoji. Neither
Amazon nor Bezos have so far made any comment or tweet in response to Musk’s claim
of being a copycat.
Amazon’s
plan to launch internet satellites is called Project Kuiper and the company
said that is a long-term project that will “serve tens of millions of people
who lack basic access to broadband internet.” And Musk and SpaceX also had
announced to do the same in February. SpaceX’s project is called Starlink and
the satellites were launch aboard its
Falcon 9 rocket. While neither Musk nor SpaceX have confirmed the number of
satellites they will launch, a filing with FCC had revealed that the number could
be over 4,400. The FCC filing had also revealed that the first 800 satellites
launched by SpaceX would be enough to
provide “initial US and international coverage for broadband services.”
