  1. Bezos’ aim of making a huge space satellite with artificial gravity and with a city of people, is more in the realm of science fiction. Just to make this kind of satellite independent of external supplies with a well-balanced recycling of CO2 to O2 and back to CO2 is an unproven task. That’s not mentioning the task of having to transport literally a mountain of soil and the giga tonnage of building material into space which will be cost prohibitive for an unproven technical project. This unworkable mega satellite could turn out instead into the ultimate weapon of non-nuclear destructive weapon by simply dropping a mountain of metal and soil on an enemy country. And, can you imagine if this huge city-satellite blows up if it’s powered by nuclear reactors? There will be so much debris orbiting space, it would be impossible to launch spaceships and satellites thereafter. Bezos is more of a dreamer than an engineer. On the other hand, Musk is working on his Martian City that can be truly independent, producing CH4 and O2 based on the abundance of CO2 and H2O found on Mars.

  2.  @justinlavine9209  and, whose billion dollars are they? Not the tax payers! Not to mention, with his own projects, Musk produces tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of high paying jobs.
