#42I feel like he's too distracted by his celebrity lifestyle these days to really focus on running a company. He just paid for Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party at his house where they had the cops called on them: https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/kris-jenn... and he disinvited Elon Musk (lol): https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/elon-...

Being a celebrity doesn't sound like it would take that much time, especially for someone like him who probably just is physically present for things and leaves all planning to others. In fact, being coCEO is probably literally just more of the same to him.

#43Honestly, why? Why not just focus on Blue Origin? I don't get this new Musk-like tendency to run multiple ventures instead of focusing on one very tough mission.
It takes extraordinary skill to successfully juggle multiple ventures. So it is natural for some to want to take on the challenge. I think it is pretty impressive.
And he's not juggling Blue Origin that well given the delays. Still impressive to go to space, so the man deserves credit, but it likely would have been several years faster and billions less if he had been more involved.

#44Is "A.I." NYT house style? Looks rather jarring.

I think their style is to use periods for acronyms, which I believe is traditional. A quick scan of their recent headlines turns up "U.S", "A.I.", "A.T.M.", "ICE", "L.P.G.A.", "REI", "U.K." I don't know what the reasoning behind the use of "ICE" and "REI" is, could be a mistake or a judgement that those words are tend to not be understood as acronyms, or something else.

You seem very up to date with all of the celebrity gossip.

#46I have a weird sense that this is a way to get his kids that are technical into a family business without having them work at a company that isn't considered prestigious

#48> Called Project Prometheus
What is it about tech people and being unable to come up with original names?
Every company I have worked for has had two dozen internal tools and projects called "Prometheus".

#49Earlier quoted context omitted.
There are thousands of companies registered every day across the US. This one is probably a subdivision of a subdivision of some holding company owned by Bezos. Pretty much impossible to track using just public data.
In my state, zero information is given to the state about who the owners are.
Let me guess: Texas?

By pure nature of how companies work, a space company with this mandate and so much funding, unless its being used for money laundering, will have a modicum of progress. BO has barely had that. No space company with so much money and so much runway has achieved so little.
