The "layouts" of the big shots are similar: media, AI, robotics, electric vehicles, and space
Bezos founded an artificial intelligence company "Prometheus Project," raising $6.2 billion, similar to Musk's layout. Musk integrates Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink through xAI, while Bezos builds infrastructure through Blue Origin, Slate Auto, and the Prometheus Project. Both are competing in the fields of artificial intelligence and infrastructure, focusing on controlling the infrastructure of the artificial intelligence economy
Bezos has just founded an artificial intelligence startup called "Project Prometheus" and serves as co-CEO. The company has raised $6.2 billion in funding.
The layout of Bezos's business empire is increasingly resembling that of Musk:
Years ago, Musk realized that the real wealth in the field of artificial intelligence lies not just in creating the best chatbot, but in controlling the infrastructure that everything else relies on. The purpose of creating xAI is not only to compete with ChatGPT but also to integrate it into businesses like Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink. Tesla has achieved autonomous driving, SpaceX has optimized rocket launches, and Starlink is responsible for network operations. Artificial intelligence ultimately becomes the operating system of his entire business empire.
Bezos is now doing the same thing, but he is catching up. Blue Origin manufactures spacecraft, Slate Auto makes cars, and now the Prometheus project has become the backbone network connecting the manufacturing, logistics, and autonomous driving systems of the entire industry. He starts with artificial intelligence infrastructure and then pushes back into his various companies.
Musk is a step ahead because he has the X platform as a megaphone, instantly reaching 200 million users with every announcement. Bezos has The Washington Post, which has a different audience, but the strategy is similar. Additionally, Tesla competes with Slate Auto in the electric vehicle sector, while SpaceX competes with Blue Origin in the space sector. The real competition lies in the dominance of infrastructure. This is the true arms race in artificial intelligence. The key is no longer who trains the smartest model, but who ultimately controls the pipelines, power, and platforms that the entire artificial intelligence economy relies on.
