That is according to NBC News, which reported on Tuesday that "first buddy" Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Facebook and Instagram boss Mark Zuckerberg will be seated together on the platform at Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington D.C. "I actually did my best to give good advice, which he largely ignored.” In 2013 Blue Origin sued to prevent SpaceX from using one of NASA's launchpads, which Musk described as a "phony blocking tactic". The two companies continued to battle in court, while Musk accused Bezos of "taking himself a bit too seriously" and criticized Amazon's Lord of the Rings TV series for being sexist against men. After a faulty SpaceX rocket blew up one of Facebook's satellites on the launchpad in 2016, Zuckerberg called Musk's "naysaying" views on AI "irresponsible".
