Bezos is Back

Jeff Bezos is getting back in the corner office.

The tech billionaire is shifting from same-day delivery to semiconductors, becoming the co-CEO of Project Prometheus, a $6.2B startup focused on AI that supports engineering and manufacturing industries (think: cars, spaceships). At a tech conference last month, Bezos, who co-founded space-travel company Blue Origin, said AI will be essential to “millions of people living in space.”

It’s Bezos’s first CEO role since he stepped down from Amazon in 2021—he’s sharing the executive letters with co-founder, physicist, and chemist Vik Bajaj.

Not everyone is impressed. Fellow space-focused billionaire and AI-startup founder Elon Musk called Bezos a “copycat” for joining the AI race. Musk’s comments came hours after SpaceX completed its 500th launch with a used rocket—a milestone SpaceX says is key in expanding commercial space travel. 

Verse to consider whether you’re weighing a major career change or what to cook for dinner this week… “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his instructions have good insight. His praise endures forever.”
