This will also mark Bezos’ return to a formal operational role for the first time after stepping down as Amazon’s CEO in 2021, handing the role over to Andy Jassy. He will serve alongside Vik Bajaj, who is the co-CEO and co-founder of the AI startup – Project Prometheurs.

As the co-CEO of Project Prometheus, Jeff Bezos joins xAI, Google, Meta, and ChatGPT in the artificial intelligence space.

Elon Musk has accused Jeff Bezos of being a “copycat” after the Amazon billionaire entered the AI race. Bezos is backing a new AI startup called Project Prometheus and will return to the trenches as co-CEO, The New York Times reported, citing several sources familiar with the project.

Elon Musk's comments come days after he mocked Jeff Bezos. During a conversation with Joe Rogan, the Tesla CEO poked fun at the owner of Amazon's drastic change in appearance over the years:

Jeff Bezos is going to be CEO again and this time it is for a new AI startup Project Prometheus. Project Prometheus has secured a massive $6.2 billion in funding and aims to revolutionize manufacturing and engineering.

The billionaire space race just got more exciting. Elon Musk is now congratulating Jeff Bezos for following in SpaceX's footsteps.

Elon Musk's SpaceX swooped in to mark Florida's 94th liftoff of the year, shattering the state's record in place of Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, which had to scrap the launch of its massive New Glenn rocket.

In a podcast interview with Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, Musk name-dropped three tech leaders when asked about the smartest guy he's ever met.

With Bezos targeting the industrial side of AI and Musk racing ahead with Grok and xAI’s research ambitions, both appear ready to battle for the next frontier of artificial intelligence.
