Say what you like about Elon, but he does deliver on his promises. He said he was going to build the biggest rocket ever, and make it reusable so it's the cheapest rocket ever... and he wasn't kidding. That beast can deliver 100 tons to obit, for sub $2 million. Which is like a tenth of the cost and ten times the mass of the best NASA can do.
Personally, I think Bezos has ambitions of turning the Moon into his own personal fiefdom. While Elon has his sights set on Mars & beyond exclusively...
