Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks as he campaigns in Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S. July 24, 2024.

Musk said in 2021 that Bezos "does take himself a bit too seriously" and that he's intentionally trying to provoke the former Amazon CEO. Musk has said Bezos should "spend more time at Blue Origin and less time in the hot tub." Musk added that while Bezos has a "reasonably good engineering aptitude," he doesn't seem to be spending a lot of "mental energy" getting into the details. "As a friend of mine says, he should spend more time at Blue Origin and less time in the hot tub," Musk said.

CNBC's Jim Cramer looked at what might have spurred Wednesday's Big Tech sell-offs, reviewing why investors may have been disappointed with earnings from Alphabet and Tesla . Cramer was impressed with the strength in the company's search business, as well as its Google Cloud revenue, which topped estimates at $10.35 billion. But Cramer said CEO Elon Musk "told a great story of self-driving technology, sorely needed energy production, not to mention humanoid robots." Cramer suggested both Alphabet and Tesla might not have declined if the market wasn't in the midst of a broader rotation out of tech. Cramer also examined stocks that have been seeing gains on the S&P 600 — the S&P's small cap index — as investors sell the mega caps.

But all that attention isn’t translating into success at Musk’s core business, as Tesla reported another sharp drop in quarterly profit that has spooked investors. Shares in Tesla are down sharply premarket on the company’s results. That’s despite Tesla cutting costs and laying off more than 10 percent of its global work force. Among the troubles bedeviling the company are sluggish consumer demand and a price war with competitors that has dented profits. Tesla sold $890 million worth in the quarter, three times the figure in 2023.)
