On the afternoon of September 13, Beijing time, it is reported that a biography of Elon Musk, written by Walter Walter Isaacson, author of the Biography of Jobs, has been published this week.

Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin have long been locked in a space race between billionaires.

In 2020, SpaceX completed its first manned space flight, while Blue Origin completed its first manned space flight in 2021, with Jeff Bezos on board.

Now, Musk's new biography talks about the relationship between Musk and Bezos in the early days, such as inviting Bezos to visit SpaceX in 2004.

According to Isaacson, Musk sent Bezos a "short" email after his visit to SpaceX, revealing his dissatisfaction with not being invited to visit the Blue Origin factory in return.

Bezos was surprised and then sent an invitation to Musk in a reply email.

According to the autobiography, after Musk visited the origin of blue, the two had dinner with their then wives, Mackenzie MacKenzie Scott and Justine Musk.

According to the autobiography and the description of the meal in Christian Christian Davenport's the Space Barons, the meal did not go well because Musk seemed to have given Bezos unpopular advice, but it was not clear what his advice was.

In the 18 years after that dinner, the two billionaires quarreled over their space ambitions, openly ridiculed each other and swapped positions as the world's richest man.

Bezos is currently the third richest man in the world, with a net worth of $165 billion, thanks largely to his stake in e-commerce giant Amazon. Musk currently tops the list with a net worth of $242 billion.

After that dinner, the relationship between the two men came back into the public eye because of a dispute over the use of NASA's launch pad in 2013, and SpaceX won the battle.

Since then, the two have often blamed each other in public. Bezos congratulated SpaceX on the successful landing of the Falcon 9 spacecraft in 2015, while Blue Origin has already made a similar achievement. Later, when Musk was asked about Bezos in a public interview, Musk asked, "Jeff what?"

When NASA gave SpaceX a $2.9 billion contract to send a man to the moon in 2021, the dispute reignited, and the Blue Origin appeal was unsuccessful. After that, Max tweeted and laughed at Bezos: "it can't be put into orbit, ."

"he should spend more time in the Blue Origin than in the hot tub," Musk said of their space race in 2021. In a way, I'm trying to motivate him to spend more time on Blue Origin so that they can make more progress. "
