Bezos wishes success to Musk as SpaceX gets court's approval to build $2.9 billion lunar lander

"Not the decision we wanted, but we respect the court’s judgment, and wish full success for NASA and SpaceX on the contract," tweeted Jeff Bezos after a federal judge rejected a lawsuit by Blue Origin against the US government over Nasa's decision to award a $2.9 billion lunar lander contract to rival billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX.

The court dismissed Blue Origin's plea filed in August this year.
