Austin, Texas (CNN Business) SpaceX and Amazon (AMZN) — companies run by the two richest men in the world — are sparring over their competing satellite-based internet businesses, with SpaceX accusing Amazon of "stifling competition" and Amazon accusing SpaceX of looking to "smother competition in the cradle."
Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, has an estimated net worth of $209 billion. Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon -- ranked 18th on the 2017 Forbes 400 list -- has an estimated net worth of $64.8 billion.
It all began earlier this year when Bezos sued SpaceX and has tested out its systems in a handful of U.S. courthouses, according to SpaceX. The two sides have continued to feud since then, with Bezos blaming "social media's talented trolls" for the tensions. "When a colonizing world is mining its country geology for gold and artifacts," Bezos wrote and linked to a couple of graphic arts works explaining that "Rich People" Cheered TOW missiles during the Vietnam War which "Stomped On Women Where They Worked."
According to SpaceX, it's right Bezos is looking for a legal battle with a private company being subsidized by government dollars. Bezos has openly fielded aircraft room proposals from the Pentagon, Defense Department, and NASA COTS team and while there, back in the 1990s, didn't seem to want to fight with NASA. "While some have suggested we were contesting NASA's budget," Bezos wrote on SpaceNews, "it would be a mistake to assume as much. NASA has plenty of money for everyone, and if we were trying to achieve financial independence from it, that's all one would need to do."

But that's all a surprise when you consider what happened on Friday night, when the Stars came close to beating their rivals. Stars coach Lindy Ruff preferred not to dwell on what happened when they were at their full strength because each player has a different narrative. Defenseman Keith Aulie got into a fight with his first-line winger in the third period, and Benn got caught out too late skating the puck back into the zone. It didn't help that the Hawks managed to score a shorthanded goal when John Klingberg, their second-line center, pushed him backward the length of the ice.
"I don't want to blame everything on one player just like I'm not going to blame everything on one player in the last two games," Ruff said. "So that all you have to do is look at what we have left. We have no power play. We can't score on it. We don't get enough pucks into the zone.
"We want guys to bring their bodies, and when you don't, it's very frustrating, and it gets harder. There were occasions tonight when we were playing great defense, and guys
