Reply to comment by MrZorg58 in Blue Origin awarded NASA launch contract for Mars mission (Studying magnetic field) by kuroimakina
Not saying the suit had any grounds, but it was exactly one lawsuit.
Elon has quite a few under his belt now though:
2019 (SpaceX vs NASA bid protest over a launch procurement, later withdrawn)
2005 (SpaceX vs Boeing and Lockheed)
Not to mention all the shady shit Starlink has pulled with the FCC.
Lawsuits force change in this industry, acting like one lawsuit somehow shaped NASA’s ability to do anything is absurd.

Musk told reporters, it seemed like Bezo's retired to: “Turns out Besos [sic] retired in order to pursue a full-time job filing lawsuits against SpaceX …"
There are other suits he's done, but failed.
I don't really care, but I think it was a stupid decision on NASA's part, to accept 2 billion "donation" and then award the contract to Bezo's, who hasn't even achieved orbital flight yet.
More on some of his other suits against Musk. https://www.business-standard.com/article/international/jeff-bezos-retired-to-file-lawsuits-against-spacex-says-elon-musk-121082700846_1.html

Who cares how Musk words it. It's literally the 1 lunar lander lawsuit, and 1 letter filed to the FCC(along side many others from other telecoms).
Musk has more lawsuits, and more public letters to the FCC against other companies than anyone.
