“Elon Musk Has an AI Startup — Now Jeff Bezos Joins the Race With New Venture, Project Prometheus” 🚨🚨🚨

Jeff Bezos — the world’s third-richest individual and founder of Amazon AMZN $228.00 (-0.78%) — is officially deepening his push into artificial intelligence. According to The New York Times, Bezos has created a new AI startup, Project Prometheus, where he will serve as co-CEO. The company’s mission is ambitious: use advanced AI systems to engineer and manufacture automobiles and spacecraft, potentially reshaping the future of both industries.

The move draws immediate comparisons to Elon Musk’s AI startup, xAI, which has rapidly grown in influence and is tightly integrated with Musk’s broader empire. Musk — the world’s richest man and the CEO of Tesla TSLA $405.81 (1.13%) — is increasingly transforming Tesla, SpaceX, and even social media platform X into AI-driven operations. His robotaxi ambitions, generative AI models, and humanoid robot Optimus are all components of that strategy.

Bezos’ entrance with Project Prometheus sets the stage for a direct collision. Musk operates SpaceX; Bezos runs Blue Origin. Musk owns X and folds it into xAI; Bezos owns The Washington Post and is now building his own frontier AI company. Musk leads Tesla, the world’s most valuable EV manufacturer; Bezos has invested in Slate Auto, an emerging electric-vehicle startup many already describe as a potential “Tesla killer.”

Both men are racing to fuse AI with manufacturing, space exploration, transportation, and media — essentially mirroring each other, step by step.

In essence, Bezos and Musk aren’t just building companies. They’re engaged in a high-stakes rivalry — a billionaire version of “keeping up with the Joneses,” except the battleground is AI, the technologies of the future, and ultimately, who will define the next era of human innovation.
