Tesla founder Ilon Musk on his Twitter wrote : “Jeff Bezos is an imitator, haha,” after the Financial Times told about the purchase by the ZOOX startup for $ 1.2 billion. Amazon will develop unmanned taxi along with Zoox. FT writes that, according to analysts, ZOOX can create drones to deliver goods.

Jeff Bezos chose a successful moment for the purchase: in 2018, Zoox was estimated at $ 3.2 billion, but it was greatly crushed by coronacialism. The company considers the main know-how to consider the software-hardware complex, which is guided in the most difficult road conditions, including large cities, and a promising fully electric “board”.

After this acquisition, Amazon will compete with Tesla in the drone market: in April, Musk announced that by the end of this year Tesla will launch a unmanned taxi service, which can be called using the application on the phone.

Musk is not the first time publicly criticized Bezos: in early June, the founder of Tesla proposed sharing Amazon due to the fact that the giant became a monopolist, and a year ago he called the Bezos plans for the development of space unrealistic. This happened after Bezos himself showed reporters the lunar module of his company Blue Origin and criticized the main idea of ​​a mask - a flight to Mars.
