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.

Elon Musk has long criticized OpenAI for building closed-source AI models despite its name.

Some job applicants may withdraw their candidacy without saying so, disappearing in the middle of the hiring process. Knowing why they do so can help companies address issues in the hiring process to better attract, hire, and retain talent. The biggest reasons job candidates said they ghost prospective employers have to do with bad experiences with talent acquisition, according to a report published Monday by FlexJobs and MyPerfectResume. With any application, "the outcome might not be getting the job or offering the job," Frana added. But letting a candidate or prospective employer know before you go is "at least is a more positive end than just dropping communication altogether."
