According to the New York Post reported on the 15th, the world's richest man shouted to the world's second richest man: you should work hard. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that if Amazon founder Jeff Bezos wants to have an edge in the space race, he needs to spend more time working at his space company, Blue Origin, and less time soaking up hot baths.

"He doesn't seem willing to spend his mental energy on engineering details," Musk said in an interview with the Financial Times published on Wednesday. ”
Musk added that while Bezos has "pretty good engineering talent," he "does take himself a little too seriously."
"In some ways, I want to motivate him to spend more time at Blue Origin so they can make more progress." Like a friend of mine said, he should spend more time on Blue Origin and less time in the bathtub for a hot bath. ”

Unlike Bezos, who is considered a "lazy" lifestyle, Musk claims he works 7 to 90 hours a week, overseeing various tesla and spaceX projects.
According to Forbes magazine, Musk is currently worth about $252 billion, while Bezos is worth $195 billion. Musk has teased Bezos about his net worth in the past, and in October responded to Bezos with a silver emoji on Twitter, apparently referring to their asset rankings.
In addition, Musk also accused the National Transportation Safety Board of unfairly investigating Tesla's accident, fire and self-driving functions in the interview.
"I think they're after headlines over real security." This is clearly an act that I will not respect and should not be respected. Musk said.
The billionaire also lashed out at traditional automakers, accusing them of not taking Tesla seriously at first and coming too late to catch up with the electric car trend.
Musk said, "For a long time, other companies in the auto industry have basically been saying, Tesla and I are fools or liars, and they say that electric cars don't work, they can't achieve range and some performance. Even if it happens, no one will buy it. ”
He added: "We run Tesla basically out of a desperate fight, not because we think it will bring profits, but to prove that it can be done."
