MSNBC: Bezos’s Congratulatory Tweet to Branson Was to Clean up PR Mess Made by His Team

EXCERPT:

COSTELLO: “Anyway, the bottom line is, you are absolutely right. Elon Musk was the first yesterday to tweet out, 'Good luck to Branson, wishing you great success.' And then a few hours later, Jeff Bezos tweeted out a similar message. I got to say, it kind of came off as if he were trying to clean up the public relations mess after the Bezos team tweeted out the day before, suggesting that Branson and his passengers weren’t really going to space, only the Blue Origin, only the Bezos folks would really go to space. That kind of came off and touched a lot of people as being really inappropriate and sour. So Bezos yesterday tweeted out his own sentiments, wishing good luck to Branson.”
